Hi,
I am new to all this and had my first successful hawk attack Tuesday. It took my prettiest hen. I like to free range my chickens in my backyard even when I am not home. The hawk has come back several times looking for another meal, so I have my chickens on lock down in their coop and run. I don't want to keep them in all the time though. Any suggestions of how I should proceed to discourage the hawk as much as possible? I don't want it to think my backyard is a grocery store.
Thank you
