saw a hawk flying away with one of my hens 4 week old chicks in its talons
Actually saw the stupid thing... it was only like 20 ft from me when I walked out as it flew away, but couldnt do anything about it...ugh. Last year I stopped letting my chickens free range because of this, but I live in the woods, witha clearing around my house, and we are absolutely infested with ticks here. I got the chickens mostly to control ticks, and they do a good job, but I get too attatched, and the hawk eats them
