too close of a hawk encounter!! Good grief that was a BIG bird! Ok, so i am contentedly sitting on the porch, hens and roo back in the bush happily scratching, 2 hens in the run trying to decide whether to lay for the first time, guinneas bedded down in some heavy brush... prettymuch everyone out of sight- and wham a hawk goes ripping through the yard yelling about something- maybe no easy pickins? not sure...he got nothin but a good look at an empty yard... never seen them all freeze like that either... even the 8 week old guineas were quiet.... now, as an afterthought, was he just checkin the chickens out? or compaining the actual run was covered? i let them out a couple hours a day, but am always in the yard just in case...
