My chicks have been out in their coop for a week and a half. Today I looked out and a hawk was crashing at the windows trying to get the chicks inside the coop. Thankfully our Fort Knox held up. It did scare the chicks though. Crazy! I figured the Hawk would only try to attack from overhead, not try to get them in the coop:barnie. Here is a picture of the windows it was trying to get in.

Thank you! I know, very determined. My husband said that hawk must have learned that behavior and been successful at it before.
That makes sense. I have Coopers Hawks that sit on my fence just five feet from the coop! Red Tail hawks circle above, too, but no one actually has been successful. We have been lucky, too, thank goodness!
