In those days, not long after the earth had cooled and the seas had formed, a great many of the Aussies I met sounded just like him and had the same great attitude.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting Sarge!PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-89950915966774644092020-03-26T09:24:21.563-06:002020-03-26T09:24:21.563-06:00They are very cool birds.

Fortunately for us we've had lovely climate conditions following the 2012 drought and there is an abundance of easy non-chicken prey for all the predators. All you can eat buffet! We've got at least 50 large hawks in the area of our north unit where the chickens live. Swainsons, rough legged, ferruginous a few red tailed. A good handful of northern harriers in the mix and it's not uncommon to see a golden eagle from time to time. Our windbreaks host great horned owls. None of them seem to give our chickens a second look. If they start going hungry that might change. :-O<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting Howard!PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-62010245876792357712020-03-26T07:26:20.556-06:002020-03-26T07:26:20.556-06:00Love the Ozzy Man, he's insane.

We have a 6 foot fence and getting over the top. That falcon got in the pen one day through a narrow opening in the net. The chickens retreated to the house through their door which was too small for the falcon. He had a check of a time getting back out.

They'll be gliding along, spot something on the ground, and BAM! Power Dive! They pull their wings in and drop like a rock. Just amazing.<br /><br />And after reading your opening, all I can say is "What Knockers!"....drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-54513740937521871242020-03-25T16:15:13.091-06:002020-03-25T16:15:13.091-06:00Rule one- Ignore the TV prognosticators...
