It did not. They are the most dangerous predator I have here. And there are many of them.....

I have never seen a hawk so close to humans. Maybe in a more built up area they act differently, very scary though!

I say it over and over again. They do not fear me. Hopefully, they fear her.

I'm sorry the roos are such a problem for you.

Esp Shorley - he is humongous easily twice the size of any of the hens here. He could do real damage to another Roo if he got fighting.

It’s too bad really he is a gorgeous bird but not for me and my petite wee hens I have. The Buff Orps and the BR are even dwarfed by him.

I am sure they do, she’s a great deterrent.

I saw this story last week, very sad! Looks like they’re finding a more humane solution for some of the hens. Many have starved to death already. Why were the humane organizations not involved here? There’s live animals to deal with, subcontractors or no, the responsibility is ultimately with the owners.

I agree. Horrible situation and more proof that humans think of chickens as less than........

Imagine if they were dogs what the response would be.

With the treats I see

Of course.

The song birds fear her for sure and with good reason. She has killed many.

So sad. I find people are so disconnected from their food. No respect for a living creature that will give its life we can live. Makes me fume.
