Do you wonderful people have troubles with Hawks or Eagles? Do you have them hang around your cages?

I get hawks all the time but never eagles. The hawks come for the wild doves that hang around the coops for the seed they have never touched any of the fowl

Hawks or eagles are a big problem for young birds so any bird that you want free range needs to be full grown

I am so sorry that must have been so upsetting. It would devastate me or my girlfriend to see that

They can take young peafowl also so make sure they are all but fully grown before releasing them ;)
