Yes & Mocking birds too! I see them chasing cats all the time around my place. Chickens are getting big, I will have to post some pic's.. Dani is mother hen, and they think it too. I go out to tend to them, and Ori wants to go at them when I am feeding them meal worms, Dani will try and get in between! To funny. Eggs should start arriving around June July. They are still eating chick crumbles, and then go to the laying feed. To my understanding, they will start popping them out when they go to the laying feed.. I am excited to see my 1st ones.. Beth

You know here, I once saw a pair of Blue Jays swooping down at a cat. The birds were trying to protect their nest in the tree. But it just goes to show, how courageous and determined birds can be. BTW, have those hens laid any eggs yet?

The Chi was okay, a little shaken up. We also had Owl's too! One would scope out mine all the time. I was washing my car, and a pigeon was on the roof above me on the garage and a hawk got it. Heck I don't even trust the crows! And if it isn't the birds you have to watch out for its the Coyotes too. My little Chassis is the target, she is under 3 pounds and easy pickings..

This was in Mass where they only have the small hawks. Please don't leave your dog outside without you! http://video.foxnews.com/v/4670905/hawk-snatches-family-dogs
