I'm afraid i don't have chickens at the moment but I have dairy goats, because I don't eat meat or buy milk or eggs at the store, so I really want some chickens or turkeys for eggs. Do you know a cheap way to keep the hawks away? Could the game warden take care of them? I live only a mile away from a state park.
