I have 15 free range peas and they will chase a hawk as well as deer,squirrels,coons, or anything that does not belong will be pursued and checked out and if it is bad they either chase it or fly away because it turned out to be dangerous.
We do need a photo of Larry to help envision the incident better
Larry is 4 years old. We call him "Inspector Larry" sometimes, as he always has to know what's going on. He's a hoot with an unbelievable personality.
My son had bought four peachicks at a trade fair and all but Larry died the first night ( the seller never took my calls... go figure) so Larry was raised with chickens.
The peahen, Lola, we bought to keep him company was killed over the summer by a neighbor's dog. I don't think Larry misses her. Lola had no respect for him and his roving eye. He spent too much time with the chickens....
