[CHICKENS-101] Coopers hawk update

 

I forgot, I don't think I've updated anyone on this. I got the netting up a while back and it's working well. The hawk isn't here daily anymore, and a couple crows hang out "in the hood" some now and that helps. I have had several close looks at the hawk. Due to the better looks and large size, I now realize it is a juvenile red tailed hawk. My guess is it moved in to town this last summer looking for its own territory. So we're stuck with it until or unless something happens to it. Not saying I'm going to do anything to it. There are several chicken keepers in this things territory so who knows, but I hope it doesn't start hunting chicken.
I'm as prepared as possible at this point. The crows are harmless to the chickens right? What would make them want to stay in the neighborhood more? I understand they keep hawks away.
