Feathers Everywhere - Mystery predator

[McChooky]

The hawks live here all year around. I'm NOT going to get a permit to kill a hawk. They are important for the ecosystem and this is their native habitat.

Sorry they don't issue permits to kill is why I said good luck.You're on your own if you choose to free range around aerial predators.

I stopped free ranging years ago and built my birds nice large covered pens with electric wires going around my coops and pens, concrete under all of the gates an good heavy duty netting covering the pens. The predators know they are there and I still see predators on my cameras but they don't try to get at the birds. Lessons learned the hard way. Here the predators mostly roam at night.
