A nasty hawk killed my favorite 9 month old RIR, Klara, yesterday. My husband actually walked right up on the 'act'. The hawk had Klara on the ground, never even tried to fly off with her. Husband got to within about 3 or 4 feet of the nasty hawk, trying to scare it away......it would not leave. It did finally fly up to a tree and then it just sat there...grrrr! He did scare it off finally......I am afraid it will come back for more. She was the alpha hen and my little buddy. I know we should not get attached, but its kinda hard not to when you raise the chickens from a day or so old! I went out this morning to bring tthe gals some warm oatmeal and then it hit me that "My Klara' is gone.
Well, thanks for letting me 'vent'..lol! (Other ppl do not understand, well chicken-less ppl! lol,lol) ~Beulah
