OK people, if it bleeds it leads.
Hawk shown in video is a Coopers Hawk, looks like a juvenile female. It is one of the easiest hawk species to manage against without loss of life to anyone, including the hawk. Birds being attacked were all female. Hawk attacked from ground. Dynamic would have been greatly changed if what are largely considered good for nothing adult roosters were present. Hawk wood have been attacked and repelled. Best breed would be a game rooster and not one of those little banty sized versions. Otherwise keep birds in better exclosures to keep hawks out or even have a dog worth its salt. A proper dog would have responded to hen squalling and driven hawk off. These little female only flocks people have been increasing in part to stay within urban six hen limits are presenting to many canned hunts for some hawks and then poultry keepers loose their wits.
