Today when I took my dogs out, Millie my hen came along and walked around with us while my dogs did their thing. As I was taking the dogs back into the house, for some reason as I reached the garage I turned to watch Millie.

All of a sudden Millie began to book, first I thought she was chasing a grasshopper, but she was running too fast for that. She ran under my truck then into the garage and got under the sink on a box and laid her head down. I looked to see what was chasing her and saw a red-tailed hawk land in one of the pine trees.

I went over to Millie and pet her and gave her a hug. I put her in a dog crate for the rest of the day. I let her out when I fed dinner to the horses and she went over to her nest, where she lays and spent the night there. Behind the big bag of chicken feed.
 
It would make sense that they would be more alert to predators than we are, good girl!!
