Great mixed flock incoming new member hellos

Hello from the triangle NC. I have a few barred rocks americanas and black austrolorps. I free range my chickens all day long. Hawk country out here but the little guys are sticking to the woods and heavy brush so no worries yet.

Hi there and welcome to BYC!

Yes, be careful of those hawks! I can't free range my birds due to all the predators in the skies and lurking in the bushes. Love those Black Australorps! So friendly and docile. Great layers too.

Great to have you aboard and enjoy your flock!

there are other predators aside from hawks that are quite capable of grabbing lunch in the woods.

Welcome to BYC - good luck with predators they are always present.

Went from 10 hens to 6 learned the hard way to just keep em in the run. I failed to hear two get murdered one by hawk one by fox. Property is to **** big. I was outside building a shed at the time too. 2 also went down from a coon coop invasion. Keeping em in the run from now on.
