What Kinds of Raptors have Attacked your Poultry?

[PioneerChicks]

I have a peregrine falcon stalking my ducks everyday, has not tried anything yet, but always flies off when I go outside, the small birds around usually warn when the peregrine is here..is he/she a threat to young ducks??

In the wilderness a Peregrine's favorite food is duck, but I think they snatch them right off the water. It might come down to how big your ducks are.

Thats what i was thinking too, they are definitely double its size anyways, maybe more, I was also thinking it might have been waiting for the wild birds to snatch food from the ducks, because they do hint them regularly, i see them often chasing smaller birds around my area. The thing that was a little eerie, was it was about 30ft away in a tree, perfect line of sight to the ducks and i couldn't see it, the ducks were hiding because a smaller bird sounded the alarm for about 5mins straight until the falcon chased him off through the woods, i couldn't see it until it moved its head to find the little bird!!!
