I took my family to the Zoo today after lunch & were only gone for about 4 hrs. When I returned I went to check on the chickens & noticed my 9 week old EE was missing & the other adult chickens & 9 weekers were acting spooked. I found her in the run & most of her was eaten. I'm sure it was a hawk because he flew off from a tree by my run when I walked out there.
I went & bought 500 feet of white nylon twine & ran it over the run in all different directions. Do you think this will discourage a hawk from trying to fly into my run?? It looks pretty good & it seems like a hawk would not be able to fly through it without his wings getting tangled up. I'm hoping it will at least give the chickens time to run back in their coop if he does try to get through it.
