It's 8:30 pm, I'm sitting outside watching my silkies and a da.... Hawk/bird just took off with a chick and me right there. WHAT the .....? I'm so angry! I took off running after it but I'm no match for a bird in the air. Poor Silkie;( All I can hope is maybe the bird dropped it. This is my first casualty of this kind. Everybody else ran too the coop, huddled in a corner, and very quiet.

I didn't think i needed to worry with me sitting right beside them!!!
What kind of netting is it?

 

[muddyhorse]

anti bird netting, it is to keep them out of your fruit trees it is in a roll in the garden section. I attach it with cable ties. I have it over the silkie, polish, and serama pens. I also hang strips of shinny material and old cds from the netting to discourage the birds. I really don't want to have to remove a hawk from the net.
