Awww… sorry to have missed all this. It was a tough and busy week.

You've had everything surrounding Ruby to deal with. We get it. Take all the time you need.

Oh yes, I know that about hawks. Last time I was chasing it, yelling with my hands waving in the air and it still went after the chickens. It was when I told Lexi to “get it!” that she bolted for it and the hawk flew off. Hawks can dive bomb their prey in open areas and stun or injure them, then start eating them alive. Brutal predators!

I have never heard that about bald eagles. I know they are considered fishing birds, but have seen with my own eyes one carrying some sort of plump mammal; I thought it must have been a rabbit, but could not tell for sure. Why not a chicken?

Chickens are bigger than wild rabbits. Some of the smaller breeds like the 4 pounds and smaller might be in danger. A hawk might get of the ground with it, but is likely to drop it, risking losing it to a ground predator in the process.

Well, isn’t this an unexpected pleasure. Jaffar wants some daddy and his rooster time, so I accommodated him!
