Well..down another bird!..my cute little Silkie "Peanut"....and i think it started to get my other silkie mix..because her feathers are all ruffed up..i cant find any wounds on her though, so i'm hoping he just scared her...
.........my husband heard a ruckus in the yard this morning, he ran outside and saw the hawk or a brown headed eagle(not sure what this bird is because it is HUGE!) taking off from our yard...all the girls were freaked out..and hiding. So he started the head count..2 were missing..we looked and looked for over an hour..we thought 2 were gone..but after we put them in their coop yard we went out to check on them again and the last one was at the gate wanting to get in with her sisters...so, my questions are...did it fly off with my silkie because i cant find her body anywhere(i did find a scattering of feathers though)..could she have survived and be hiding somewhere?(we looked and looked for her!)... i thought they killed and ate their prey on the ground....and..what can i do to deter them from coming back?.also, my husband said when he saw the hawk/eagle fly off it didnt seem to be carrying my silkie....I'm keeping them locked up now until i can find a way to scare the hawks off...
