Hi, I am a beginner in raising chicken and got a few hens last fall. They grown up pretty healthy and well in my backyard (they are freeroam). My current concern is that since Spring and Summer is coming, I am afraid that there will be hawks and other predator that will come and hunt my hens (as they already grabbed one of my new chicks during last fall). Since local wildlife here is protected and not allowed to be hunted (and that I personally don't like killing), I am looking for a method to discourage, hide, and/or protect my chickens from potential predators. Is there any backyard chicken raiser here in Sugarland Tx that know what to do against these predators? Thanks.
