Hello! I live in Chicago. We have always had Red-tailed Hawks. They’re huge and very scary and we always know to keep the chickens in their run when one is around. But lately we’ve had a new guest. A Cooper’s Hawk, which I’ve never seen in my neighborhood since we moved in 9 years ago. I assume he comes for my neighbor's yard, they have lots of bird feeders so I guess he’s trying to hunt there. I should probably advise my neighbors to take the feeders down for a few weeks right? And also, is he a threat to my hens? He is a lot smaller than our usual guests. We have three large/standard-sized hens (Barred Rock, Wyandottes) two mid-sized hens that are a little smaller (Easter Egger, speckled Sussex), and two bantams (buff Brahma)
Thanks for the help!
