- vibrio 5y agoOooh, the hawks are pretty well inside the 128. I routinely pick up squirrel and rabbit ‘chunks’ from on my yard. In the winter, I’ve see occasional red stains in the snow.
- harpersealtako 5y agothat's what the guard dogs and guinea fowl are for
- wing-_-nuts 5y ago>guinea fowl Forgive my ignorance, do they keep the hawks at bay by alarming every time there's danger? Cause I can't imagine the ones we have here fighting off anything
- harpersealtako 5y agoYeah, they usually kept as predator alerts for mixed flocks. They are also known to kill/scare away snakes, which is nice because I live where there are poisonous rattlesnakes
- exolymph 5y agoWe have chickens, living on the edge of a regional park where the hawks thrive. They are reluctant to hunt near the house, probably mainly because the low tree cover severely limits their maneuverability.
