So I was in the brooder house. And I walked outside today and there was this hawk above my yard high up s/he was circling about 3 circles I would say. (I free range all my ducks geese turkeys and chickens) All my brooder hen house and breeding areas are covered but my duel purpose meaties are free ranged. After the 3 high circles I got my pole as he swooped lower and lower till he was roof level with the house. The hawk stick I made is about 4 foot long with really shiny silver tape all around it. I chased h/she around the yard screaming obsenitys and swinging the stick at h/she (keep in mind he was 14-17 feet above ground I know I can't kill them but I do love the 3 S's of farming.) Anyhow After he made me run 4 laps around my property h/she flew off into the pastures north of the house. All the suddon out of no where a small bitty hawk is following h/she.
I quickly Pulled out the fishing line made several zig zags across the yard and put tons and tons of Cd's up everywhere. My question is Withh they be back or did I do a good enough Job to assure them Food is hard to come by on my place? Will they come back and test me or should I keep all the birds on lock down for a while? Its 106 here today and feels like 118 I am afraid if i pen them up they might die from heat? any advice would be appreciated thanks.
