I heard my backyard chickens cackling late yesterday afternoon. I
stepped outside to see an immature Cooper's pacing back and forth atop
the short pen, peering between the slats of the taller pen. It always
looks like a desperate hawk when you see them chasing a foot, and is
usually an immature. I wish her well, but not that well. The chickens
and I got over it rather quickly, as I let them out for their evening
run as usual. I have also had an immature Red-tailed hawk perched on the
pen lately, once when the hens were out. At that time they had ducked
into the tomato cages, but I believe the hawk had not made a pass at
them, just considering it. The only attack I have witnessed was by a
feral cat, which was promptly dispatched by the rooster.
