well he free ranges them during the day, and thats when they kill them.
they were on vacation one time and when they got back; all 30 of their chickens were dead. so the hawks are a big problem
and i think hes only killed one or 2. he takes pot shots at them with a .22 (i know, another stupid thing) and almost always misses. hes a dumb
common sense says if somethings not working for you then change what your doing. he should use use bowmanaj's idea, if they free range just make a big enclosure. if they invest a lot of money into them, then at least that would keep them from getting killed.
