My 2 month old silkie was eaten by a hawk yesterday

How do I make sure this dosent happen again?

No problem.   Sometimes paint markings are very very faint.  Yours are very very bold...and beautiful.  At first glance...Something makes me think boy for the paint.  Where is the farm?  Im in CA (Sacramento area).  I was actually browsing Catdance Silkies yesterday looking at possibilities for maybe some hatching eggs.  Lol...What can I say, birdies are an addiction!

I look forward to new pics of your birds tonight.  Maybe some closer up pictures can help determine gender.

The farm is in Oregon. I love that little paint so cute. I think boy too but I still hold out hope. I'll get some more pics up.

We Oregonians have many predators, hawks, racoons, skunks, dogs etc. I was told if you have bantam breeds a chicken tractor or enclosure is a must. I haven't let my chickens out yet because I have heard this same story from so many people. I am so sorry about your chick!!!

I am so sorry. Those hawks have eaten lots of my babies.
You just can't leave them out alone.
Forget all the crap on the market, hanging CDs, scarecrows.
Once they find the all you can eat buffet in your backyard, they won't leave.
You must have them in a covered pen. All the time.

So sorry about you Silkie I'll mama we two have lots of hawks. They grab the wild birds from near the feeders now and then, there so fast there gone before I can get to them. I would be to scared to let mine out uncovered.

Ok sme close ups, do you think the Partrige is a girl I really think her head looks girl but those tail feathers?

Here's the little paint I'm thinking of calling him Zeek if a boy.

Can't leave Sassy out even tho I'm sure she's a girl.

So sorry!

I have a tractor, and I decided to build a large, covered run too. It petrifies me to think about a hawk getting one of my silkies.
