Went out to give my chickens some mackarel scraps and saw thisthankfully no chickens were harmed and the game warden took it awayhow can i deter hawks besides a giant net over my free-range area.
>>2800054A goose will guard your flock if it is lonely. But I’ve never lost a chicken to a red tailed hawk, only bald or golden eagles. Do you have banties or something?
>>2800059i have a brahma hen but most my chickens are silkies
>>2800054OP here. So i had a game warden remove the hawk, but that transpired into a slew of negative events. It was an adult hawk, idk what sex but it had a mating partner and it was lividly pissed. Like, seething fucking mad i removed its partner and i could tell. This hawks partner came in and tore into one of my silkies, and was keeping it alive as it ate its entrails. I came outside and bore witness to horrors beyond comprehension: the silkie was still alive with half its guts hanging out and another silkie was hiding, also bearing witness to the events that transpired. I cradled the silkie in my arms, and knowing it was suffering, i snapped its neck. I took the carcass inside and made butchered it, making authentic asian cuisine since silkie meat is a delicasy. I hadnt smoked pot in like, 3 months. I smoked so much weed after cooking my silkie miso soup i barely remember anything, which is probably a good thing. It was a terrible chain of events and im glad i smoked so much i gave myself amnesia
>>2800366it couldnt have been that bad if after you hugged and killed him, you go inside and turn him into a asian cuisine
>tranime avatarposting Go back to your containment board.
>>2800054Put up bird scares and move them twice a week. Unrelated to hawks, you should add crushed lump charcoal to your chicken feed at 2% by weight and ferment it with some greek yogurt and some apple cider vinegar. Your chickens will be a lot healthier and your coop will smell a lot better.
