Awhile ago I heard the roos sound the alarm and then I heard the attack. This happened to be the farest run from the barn. Bu the time I got there, one roo was dead. But three other roos were holding their own. With two roos on the hawk's back, the thrid attacked the head. It didn't take long at all for the hawk's eyes to go. That is when I stepped in to put an end to the fight and the hawk. It was strange to see these three working together, for they can't be put in a run next to each other. Yet they get along with all the other roos.

GREAT WORK ROO"S !!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry for the loss of 1 of them, but at least he died doing his job, and put others lives before his own !!!!
THAT is why i say having roo's with attitude is worth thousands of $!!!

Sorry for your chickens but also sorry for the hawk. in my humble opinion the hawk is worth much more than any chicken

Hawks have taken three of my hens. Two leghorns that just started laying and an irreplacable keys hen. I have hatched and raised 4 lavender and 4 purple Guinea fowl. I bought two adult white guinea and they are all running the property. I have seen them alert and fly and head for any hawk that has gotten too close. A pack of 10 of them is a sight to see flying, alerting and heading for the predator. I have not seen a hawk near the ground since.

They roost with the chickens and are the first to leave the barn in the morning. They are the best watch fowl i have ever had. Now i do not mind the constant calls and the alerts are just remarkable.

Funny this just happened. I was just asking my DH if he thought my two roosters, Dutch and Mace, would work together against a predator. Awesome story!
