2012年5月20日 · I just went outside to hang diapers on the line and noticed in the back corner of the yard a big brown wing. I went over quickly and found a hawk, grabbed a stick and started hitting it. It was tangled up in the ivy and chain-link fence. But, I was able to get the girls away from the hawk. Two...

2008年4月21日 · I had the same problem - lost 2 birds to a red tailed hawk. I called DNR and was told I COULD kill the hawk because it was destroying livestock. I did take a photo of the hawk eating a chicken so I would have proof that it was actually killing my birds.

2016年3月3日 · Earlier today one of my 11 month old hens was attacked by a hawk. I saw it right after it happened and scared the hawk off within seconds of the attack. I thought she was dead when I got to her as she had a little blood coming out of her mouth. There is a nasty gash in her neck which I cleaned as best I could with peroxide and then I put neosporin.

2012年3月27日 · That's really wonderful! Thanks for sharing an showing the photos. Pictures always help to compare to things that happen to us so we know if we're on the right path! I had a Silkie attacked by a hawk, but thankfully he had only pecked at her eye. The first one attacked was killed, but this time we were aware of what was going on.

2012年2月13日 · An injured hawk will soon be a dead hawk, so they tend to be careful to not get hurt. A 1-2 pound hawk isn't going to risk an 8 pound hen unless he is absolutely certain he can handle it.

2015年5月8日 · I have a 2.8 acres chicken farm that is situated on the edge of 30 acres of dense woods that is sparsely inhabited by homes. The woods are packed with all kind of critters that hawks could eat, but they prefer easy prey, my chickens. It is obvious to anyone in this area who has chickens that the chicken hawk population around here is pretty scary.

2009年11月29日 · A hawk will swoop down on a chicken from behind pin it to the ground and just start plucking. I`ve had a Coopers hawk swoop into my pen. I don`t know if it was after one of my girls or a chip monk. It did not get either. It could not figuire out how to get out. It would fly over the chicken wire but would get knocked back in by the bird netting ...

2011年6月23日 · Today the hawk came back and scared my poor hens, in the covered runs, almost to death. I ran out, then the hawk flew away. I've seen him around since he got my first hen, and I am assuming it is the same one coming back for another "easy" meal. I am afraid this hawk is going to sometime hurt my chickens again, or even me.
