No, they would be stopped by the wire. Thank goodness!

You done good!!!
Your visiting hawk may be back and try again, or hope that you do let the flock outside. I'd keep them inside for a week at least.
Many raptors are migrating now, so there may be more action coming up.

It was a big bird! I noticed two yesterday flying overhead. I didn’t know they migrated.
I insisted we build a very secure coop. thanks to this forum I learned what that entailed.
Even though we live in suburbia, We do have lots of predators around. 2 years ago a family of foxes was living under our shed.

Yes, it was scary!

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!

Scary!!! I will have to look up what kind of hawk this was.
