Yesterday we had a hawk show up around 10am. I had my older girls out but no one sounded any alarms. I just went outside to sit with them and noticed distress in the coop with my 4 youngest. The hawk must have really scared them maybe even perching above the run as everything was turned over and two of them had some kind of head injury. Then I looked around and realized my older girls were nowhere to be seen. Once I gathered them up in their pen I saw the hawk in my neighbors yard. Their chickens were out but apparently hiding and that thing was relentlessly searching for them. I kid you not that thing stayed there all day. It moved from tree to tree from time to time but I could tell from the surrounding nature sounds and the alertness of my girls that it was still there at dusk even though I could not see it. I’ve never heard of one being so relentless and determined.
