I wouldn't want to do anything to harm a hawk or owl. I would feel terrible.

Lose a few and I bet you change your mind.

Flypen, how are you liking your Typewriters so far this year? Any pics to share of the young stags?

I have 2 young stags, most of the chicks that hatched with hens were lost due to flooding rain or a hawk. I have a few pullets that I really like, to early for the stags.

Lol no kidding. I wouldn't raise gamefowl nowadays as a means to make money. Better off collecting aluminum cans.

Coming home to a yard full of crowing roosters is priceless. They don't talk back, and they are excited to see me every time I go out to them.
I would rather spend money on chicken feed and supplies than iced mocha mint,orange, or whatever kinda concoction high dollar fancy coffees any day.

Really?? Our good friend sells his stags for around $100. I'm sure his Trios go for way more, but he makes a decent dollar off his gamefowl. His operation is huge tho, breeding a whole variety of pure lines. I got my Radio, Grey, and Hatch BCs from him, as well as the hens, I say got because he simply gave them to me knowing I had the space and resources to raise these magnificent birds. Growing up with gamefowl, I jumped at the chance to raise my own, with my Pops ofcourse. Old man has a whole bunch of old school tips and tricks about raising AGF, as I find myself learning something new everyday.

Yes sir, you're definitely right about that. That stag is 5 months old. I left his pen door open so he took advantage of it. The fun part was catching him again. I have a couple Murphys and Greys that are turning out good too

Sorry roosters wont scare off hawks ,if someone has a line of hawk bashing proven hawk slaying roosters id be the first in line to buy one ,maybe a very rare occurrence but ussually roosters run for cover also.

Well crap. The hawk wasn't very big, so I hoped if they were bigger they would try to do something about it.
