Rogue Hawk Farm

Perhaps that would have been a better name choice for our farm since we recently experienced a miniature chicken massacre by hawk. I will spare you the pictures, but give you the damage report:

-one chicken died (and in a sad, sad way too)
-one chicken lost the skin on its back
-one chicken broke a foot
-one chicken is limping

We have the isolation tub in use right now. And lots of splits and neosporin (or at least the chicken equivalent of it.)

Now the question remains: What do we do about it?

We may possibly get a second coop and have 2 going at all times. That way, if the numbers dwindle too much in one, we can have a second group maturing to laying status so that our egg production never goes down.


Now if only farms didn't have so much upfront capital....
