Allen I lost a EE to a hawk, she hadn't even started laying yet, and it got her. I'd be very careful with the hen now that you know there's a chicken hawk flying around. Last week I was looking out at the yard, and where my chicken coop was, there the hawk was sitting on the fence, and stood there watching it and it flow down on the ground. I know it was looking for my hens. I just pray when I get new one's soon that they are protected enough not to be bothered with.

I'm very concerned about hawks. One of my neighbors lost 6 chickens to a nasty "chicken hawk" as he calls it. I know I'm courting danger letting Hannibelle run free, but I don't want to coop her up.
