Hi all, my flock of six 24 week old pullets were out free ranging today. I was sitting nearby when a hawk flew onto the telephone pole, seemed to suddenly notice I was there (I had been very still prior) then flew off into a nearby tree. I put the chickens back in their run and they have been there since. I'm wondering if it would be safe to let the chickens out around 7 (30 minutes before bedtime for them) to free range around the coop with my supervision. Would the hawk still be lingering 4-5 hours later? I plan on keeping them in the run due to the recent hawk activity but am curious if they would be around still in the late evening. Thank you
