*grumble grumble freeloaders grumble*
I spent the day baking cookies and listening to Christmas music on Pandora. There was a moment of silence in between songs, when I heard the chickens going nuts. Run out the door and looked around, no chickens anywhere except for Clara, the broody Mama, she was having a stand off with a hawk sitting on the 4 ft. fence! Everyone else took cover, including her not so little chicks and the 4 roosters. She was standing right under him, squawking at him so insanely. As soon as I started to head over there, the hawk took off. My Clara is a very brave, protective, and lucky! I was very proud of her today.

Wait!!!!! I think one of those is on the RARE and ENDANGERED SPECIES List. Not sure which of the two ??? Well, just an idea to the top breeders to think about. =D=D=D

My girls were on strike the last 2 months. Combination of molt, shorter days, and they just were short on motivation.. For the last 2 week, all laying returned back to normal. NO CHANGE IN DIET. NO CHANGE IN AMOUNT OF LIGHT. About a week before Thanksgiving, I put my SMALL FLOCK of 8 into winter housing in my garage. Temps are kept above freezing, and also provide 12 hours of supplemental light on a timer. Do you suppose that the girls might have got a message from Santa, Lay for the Holidays, because He knows who has been NAUGHTY, and who has been NICE.???Egg production has stopped . Set up the light timer today in 1 pen . Just wrong to keep chickens and buy eggs .
I actually looked that up.... Thinking it was a real possibility.. Although a Sumatra and jersey giant breed to hunt hawks would work.. Give them treats every time they spot a hawk.. Breed for bigger sharper feet? Train them specifically to fight a hawk a big chicken gets a hawk on the ground and pinned I think the hawks a goner
Makes me wonder if it's possible to breed/develope a chicken or rooster that is awesome at spotting and taking down hawks wouldn't that make a hawk think twice when it gets it's but kicked by a chicken..

I think they already have created these. I know there are people who raise those aggressive fighting cocks. (Still don't understand the whole concept???) Anyway, I bet those mean suckers would try to take down a hawk. Of course trying to own an aggressive bird raises a whole new set of problems. Nothing like getting a daily flogging with your morning eggs! LOLI actually looked that up.... Thinking it was a real possibility..
