We’re just east of Houston, so I’m sure most of these apply for us. Scroll down for hawks.

If you don't eat the berries, you may as well, long as it doesn't kill your mower. Chickens would LOVE the berries... they don't care about ants.


Happy mother's day.

I know the right think to do is pick them for the chickens. Added protien ! picked, washed and froze about 15 qt. sized ziplock bags and all but one went in the garbage. I gave one to the chickens. It was watery after being froze.

Guineas were full grown. The scat over in the tractor/garden area. I’m having a hard time with pics today. Circled poop in red, blue box is where the tractor was at the time of the attack. This is where Herkey and Ms. Natalie were.

A raccoon is likely for the attack on Herkey and Ms. N. They are not very efficient killers and sort of grab and chew and bite until the chicken is overcome or escapes. They would also eat the eggs.
It was a night attack too, wasn't it? raccoon

Do you think the keet attack was night or day?
How much do keets weigh? I kind of doubt that a bird of prey could carry off an adult. Great horned owls can carry off a teacup Chihuaha... about 3 lbs.
People will tell you because a hawk is only 2 lbs, that it cannot lift it's own weight. I don't believe that. A small Cooper's hawk got a couple of my Serama, and they easily weigh as much as that hawk. It killed and picked one up and took her high up in a tree. I sprayed the hose to chase it off because I didn't want to see it eat my baby.
Foxes will come a grab a bird and take off with it, leaving a pile of feathers behind. I think there is a natural survival strategy where birds release feathers under stress, so that could explain such a big pile.
