ooohh if I can get up a little bigger housing for them before the 3rd, I will take them. I only have one left from Nava and ElW and he is very lonely

Yeah I suck at hatching lol. I just let my broody hens do it anymore. I usually get a great hatch rate doing it that way, but I lost 2 of my good broody girls this past spring, some predator got them

Oh No!! THREE?! That's horrible! It's terrible how we can't let them out to scratch around because of the hawks. I wish I could throw a net over my whole yard. Instead, they only get out when I have the time, and only in small groups so I can keep an eye on them - I feel very guilty. Two days ago I heard everyone yelling and when I went down their was a HUGE hawk in the tree not 20 feet from them, just checkin' out the offerings. He didn't even leave right away when I was yelling and making noise. I actually had to hit the tree branch beneath him with a broom before he would fly away. Who knows how long he was sitting there, terrorizing them. I've lost birds twice before to hawks in the middle of the day. I feel your pain!
