My silkies are my babies, so they are kept in their own pen right next to the house. It is fully enclosed (the holes in the wire are very small), off the ground. I heard quite the ruckus yesterday so I ran outside and saw this hawk in a frenzy obviously trying to get in the pen. Thankfully, the hens were scared and hid inside their hideaway box. It doesn't make sense to me that there would be any way a hawk could hurt them..is there? I know this sounds silly, but can they rip at the wire cage? Is there anything I can do besides shoot them? (no firearms in the house)
