Has anyone had experience with Red-tailed Hawks going after full-grown chickens? We have a hawk nest near our yard and I've seen a few close fly-overs. Our hens (one Wyandotte and two 1-year-old Orpingtons) make an interesting chortling noise and usually seek cover in their run or under shrubs when they see a raptor, so I know that they are sensing some risk. From what I've read so far, the hawks shouldn't be a problem with chickens of this size.
Thanks!
