Good luck!! I got a fake owl for my yard. I put it on top of one of the bantam coops, so it wouldn't scare the chickens, but the hawks could see it easily. I got the one that is motion activated, it turns it's head and hoots...totally unnecessary. Just get a cheap one. The batteries have been dead for a year...lol Haven't lost a bird to a hawk since I got it though...knock on wood!!

Do you think this will work for me? I just had a hawk attack the other day (thankfully no fatalities!) but I need to build the defenses!

Well.... I actually went to 2 Coastals..... but it was the one in Oregon City that had the Guineas. Expensive little buggers.... for a chick that is....

Sso, I gave the barred rock chick to my friend who is starting out with chicks. She also got an Austrolorpe, and 2 of the EEs that I just hatched.... then I picked up a Barnvelder, a Silver Grey Dorking and a Cuckoo Maran. My flock is like the United Nations of chickens!

See folks! We CAN all live together in Peace! Just look at my chhickens for an example! Haha!

I have a friend that raises Guineas. Unique, aware and LOUD. If I had more property I would get a couple. Super cute as chicks.

I will call oc coastal in the morning, might have to make a run in there

I just want a few, have had before so I know how loud and obnoxious they can be, especially when strangers invade their area. But just a few....no harm in that right?!

So, the Guineas are my first attempt at raising something to eat. I found a processor near me, so if I can do it with them, I'm getting a turkey for Thanksgiving!

On a bit softer note... I just hatched out my first chicks from my "True" Ameraucana. Her babies will be EEs, with a Mille Fleur D' Uccle or another EE for the daddy..... but these chicks are To Die For Cute. They are cream colored with silver highlights. Truly gorgeous. With big Ol' face muffs! I can't wait to see what they look like!
