Hawk attack. Killed my sweet hen. Worried about the others....

[One Silly Chicken]

Sorry for your loss. Lots of TLC for the others.

They will be OK, but will be on high alert for quite a while. More seriously, be aware that the hawk will return. Keep them in a secure roofed pen and only free range when you are there. If it is a migratory bird, it should move on in a week or so. If it is a resident bird, it may become an ongoing problem. Good luck with this situation.

so sorry for your loss,

 

[Frannabelle]

So sorry!
They might be spooked for a couple of days, my flock was last fall when it happened here.
A little warm nighty bighty might make them feel better
hang in there

I was on the verge of letting them out for an afternoon when I watched a hawk pick a squirrel right off our fence. It'll be a while before they go anywhere except the fenced in garden with the bird netting on top. At least until the trees and bushes leaf out!
