@#%!@$! Hawks!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got this little girl on Wed. Heard a ruckus and went to check in out. A hawk was sitting on this little girl, as I ran toward it the hawk tried to take off with her by the head several times. It finally gave up, dropped her and flew off. Incredibly the only wound was a small puncture near her ear. She has got to be extremely sore tho'. She is resting comfortably in the infirmary. Poor little girl.......

So glad you saved your new girl!

She is a beauty! I'm so glad you saved her....last week the hawk ate one of my sq silkies, I had just aba banded them the week before. It's a pitiful site, all that flufff in a pile. Great job! Hope she does well with the injuries.

Keep a good eye on the wound. Although a minor injury, flies might try to lay eggs on/in the wound.
So glad you saved her, wouldn't be surprised if the hawk returns though, so beware.

Oh gosh. Probably scared the living daylights out of her. Lots of love and extra treats for that gal.

I agree the hawk will probably come back as you probably already know. If you were letting her range I'd supervise & protect my livestock. If you know what I mean. That's just my thoughts. Just knowing that the hawk has had her in his claws once would have me worried.Keep an eye in the sky. Pretty bird by the way.

I have a hawk that has been watching my chickens.Sits on the chainlink and looks at them.Just a matter of time before it attacks.I did add some fishing line to deter flight,but it will attack if hungry enough.
I agree......@#%!!$ hawks!

Cute hen.Glad she survived.
