Unsuccessful Hawk Attack

- I caught a hawk attack on the run camera. First you hear the songbirds get agitated, then the pullets start watching. And then the hawk swoops down at the front left side of the run. One foolish pullet actually goes to the front to see what is going on!
If you are impatient skip to 1:39.
the girls will be talking about that all day. nice coop and run set up.
Thank you. It just kept expanding!
i thought you were talking about THE chickens lol
younes uchiha I was!
2:09 Grey lady’s monitoring the situation..
She is lookimg for her chick
I'm thinking she might be head of the flock
@@uzayrmalik4625 yes, she is. I think she hid them
@Augustine Amos shut up
I love your setup!! This is why it's so important to have a roof over your run!!
Thank you! That run just kept expanding! Only part of it has a roof, but the unroofed part has the welded wire fencing over it. It's kept out racoons, foxes, and hawks! The hawk wouldn't have gotten even that close a few months earlier because I had an outer run that had aviary netting over it and they didn't get through that either. Thanks for the compliment!
Didn't anyone notice, the small bantam hen nearest to the lawn was trying to fight the hawk and defend her chick ?
yes. i noticed. she was trying to distract the hawk. so her chicks will have time to hide themselfs. she is one brave mother hen.
Mother hens are fierce!
Ralte Fren She also saw the hawk before it swooped and stayed there to defend her baby.
I saw it
Rigels Mmm what part
Great capture, those chickens are very smart they ran for their inside coop.
Thanks! I can’t really take credit because that camera is on 24/7..
@Hammerschlägen M A little smarter than you sir.
The baby ran outside the coop area if you look
Hammerschlägen M you are stupid buddy chickens are way smarter than you think 💭 if you think lol 😂😂
1:40 - You're welcome!
I read this after lol
Man,I should of read this message first,I couldn’t see the hawk..
Adam I. Thank you.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Thanks
I really never knew chickens would run immediately to hide in their house. I thought they would just flap around their area driving themselves nuts. They're smarter than I thought.
I lost 1 hen and to a cat, now if i leave i lock them, the other day i had a quick store errand, less then 10 minutos, i have a gues driveway i never use my self in the other side of the fence and coop, I park there to see quick if they where ok, i observe, they saw the car and silently all gather up and went in a line inside their little house lol, i felt so bad they where scare but dint make a sound ran i side their little safe zone
It's mostly flipping a coin. If one of them gets it into its head to run for the coop the rest will follow but sometimes they do just flap around. I've had both situations with my chicks in even measure
A bit like humans, then. We're terrible at self-preservation during sudden emergencies. 😂
1:30 warned by other birdies ..something is up
1:40 starts the evacuation mode into the coop
It's funny how the chickens know that this small bird is a deadly predator.
Chickens are smart
If there was a rooster it would of fended off the hawk
@Hammerschlägen M Chickens are pretty smart. They have robust and vast abilities that are comparable to a human toddler. Chickens have sophisticated sensory abilities. Chickens have a complex nervous system, and are sensitive to pain, pressure, and temperature, just like humans and mammals

@Hammerschlägen M yup real tasty
@@handledav Idk where this notion of a rooster fighting off hawks comes from. Hawks are apex predators they've hit their pray most times before it ever knows its been got, if it hadn't been for the chicken wire that bantam or one of her chicks would have been gone. I homestead 5 acres and we free range all of our birds but our small turkeys and bantams right now. I have two roosters that run with the girls a very big black and white Maran and a game rooster mix, I've lost several small poults to a young hawk within the last month.
Best hen house I've seen.
What a bunch of chickens
😁
They are smart chickens, they knows to hide in the safe place.
Our run is predator proof unless it’s a bear. We have foxes who patrol and the hens are not in the outer run when they are prowling. I lost several to foxes 2 years ago..
Anthony Mercado foxes usally take like 5 I have seen it happen to my friend he had about 7 chickens it stole 6 of em
@@evawikoff hello can I ask my chicken keeps making weird sounds and it feels like she's jealous and had always had an open mouth and breaths from it like she's always thirty I closed Ina cage with water but when she drank it she kept looking thirsty can you help me in any way?
@@namenamenamenamenamename1213 I couldn't advise you, but Backyardchickens.com is an excellent resource. Here is a link to page that may help you. Good luck! www.backyardchickens.com/threads/excessive-thirst.837126/
@@namenamenamenamenamename1213 that happened to me, with three of my chickens, but i just seperated them from the flock in a small cage and in two days they were fixed maybe they got worn out or aomething like that.
Did anyone notice the chicken that was suposibly On guard, it was the first to go inside without making a noise
lol! I had to watch to see which hen it was! That is one of my Cream Crested Legbars. Funny to try to figure out which one is which because I haven't had them since the spring. She wasn't "on guard" just watching... she also isn't one of the "loud" hens. I had a couple that were notoriously noisy and enjoyed making announcements of any kind. I wish that the tape was a bit longer so that you could hear the start of the chattering from the songbirds. That was when the hens started to pay attention. Then again someone already complained that it was too long!
It was just checking to make sure the coop was safe for everyone else ;)
I am getting comments about wasted time watching this video. The purpose is to show the behavior and warning signs of the impending attack. The backyard bird calls, the silence, and the hens reactions including the ones protecting their chicks... this is not a graphic video. All the chickens are safely enclosed in a predator-proof run. As I say in the description "If you are impatient skip to 1:39.
"
NVM you are not hear to please everyone , gd vdo .
Somebody's gonna complain regardless...
This is why you need a rooster ! A rooster will give his life to defend for his hens ! Rooster has the utmost important job that is overlook by chicken owners .... sad but true !
My chickens got attacked today. We only noticed because our rooster ran way over to where we were outside....far away from their coop area( they free range). We were like...where are all your girls?? He abandoned them! Lol. But...maybe he was trying to get our attention.
hellacat yeah, he came to you rather than somewhere else. What attacked them?
I had chickens when I was a child the rooster was huge and super vicious, he would definitely attempt to take on a fox. I hand raised him since he was a chick and I was the only one he didn't go for.
Sadly you are not allowed to own roosters in many places, just chickens.
Very true but not always reliable, roosters are amazing but a hen of mine had still been taken even with roo supervision
What a nice, cozy and safe place for chickens! It was so relaxing to watch them hanging out, better then watching fishes in an aquarium. And how amazingly quick they run for shelter, first under the table and than in the coop! Hawk-alarm seems to be deeply engraved in hen's DNA.
After the last pullet went back in the coop I somehow expected a small wing reaching out and slam the tiny door of the coop shut. But of course, they had to leave it open because the tiny chick was still out there. ;) I hope the little one made it to safety too.
All safe and sound! I have an ChickenGuard automatic door on the actual coop, but the door to the run was closed, so there was no way the hawk could have gotten them! Glad you like the set up. I'm always changing things. We have a brand new coop that is under construction - needs a few finishing touches. I'll post a video one of these days!
They got such a fright! It was funny poor things. Very nice large coop, I heartily approve of the luxury 5-star accommodations!
I love the bold chicken comes back out of the coop at 2:07 to continue to scream at the chicken hawk!
shes calling the babies, she was on lookout and babysitting duty, all the rest of the girls scrambled, she went into attack mode, straight at the hawk neck all poofed up
I like your coop set-up. We've let our chickens free range for over 20 years and I've considered keeping them locked up and your coop gives me a good idea.
Our coop and run has evolved from one of those really small tractor supply coops which was very temporary... my husband built them a run that was 8 x 8 x 8 that was screened in hardware cloth. The coop itself became a repurposed Resin shed that was outside the run... then the run expanded some more... and the external daytime run was added... then we sold the flock... and started over and had to build a new coop! It's a work in progress.
Mother hens are awesome and will protect there babies at all cost! I have a momma hen that was free ranging with her babies and a hawk swooped down and went after her babies and the momma jumped up and tried to attack the hawk the babies ran to safety and luckily I saw and ran with the broom I was ready to whack that hawk but the momma hen scared him away, hawk never came back! Momma hen's (and roosters) are the best! Loved the video!
Momma hens are amazing! Hens are amazing? Chickens??? I'm fascinated by how they know what to do when they are hatched in an incubator and have no adult hens to watch. They still figure out nestboxes, and when they are broody they turn their eggs, and then they mother! It is incredible! Wish I could have roos!
Those chickens are smart,They knew that the first thing to do in a hawk attack is RUN into the coop and hide
Such smart ladies!! Happy they were okay! I love your setup
If you heard them screaming it’s so horrifying ,They are so overwhelmed
Eva -- thanks so much for the fantastic video. We had hens on the farm, and then I had a few hens when I had sufficient space when living in West and Central Africa. My only regret about videos is that there is no marvelous farm smell. Miss it more than you can imagine. All the best to you and your family, Lynn in Albuquerque
Lynn, Thank you for commenting! I was without chickens for a year - this video is from my last flock! I restarted my flock over the summer - I understand how you miss it! All the best, Eva
2:00 I guess the late sleeper sticks his head out to see why everyone ran inside. Or he said. Don’t worry I’ll protect you ladies. “O shit those talons look sharp. Maybe not “
The run is very well protected, but the alert was interesting. A beautiful design of run and beautiful chickens.
Thank you so much! We may have gone overboard just a bit, but the size makes it easy for me to work with them. I do love my girls!
They have to be strong!!! They're mothers!
So how many chickens did you catch?
Hawk: No
Chicken: *t h a n k y o u*
Our worse year ever. Someone we know went on the internet to buy hen's for us to raise for eggs and meat. 50/50 split. Ended up being Small hen's. The seller swore all were Hens. 5 were roasters . Buyer beware. We have day predators, hawks, huge black birds and even foxes I've seen in my yard in the morning and afternoon. If you don't get a chicken that will naturally go to the coop it becomes a nightmare. Flying up into trees. I live near water. I have weasels, not about the food but about the hunt. Then the fox, the opossum, the raccoon, snakes, I only have a acre and half of land, live in the city. But I do live on the water, low tide nothing but mud. I had no idea of so many predators. Been living here for 20 years. Like I said this is the worst loosing so many of our chickens. We only have two chickens left. Going to take a break. Up side is that people that walk and jog by our house make positive comments. I tell them we don't have chickens. We have miniature poop machines. 🙂 It still hurts knowing that a predator would inflict such much pain .
Omg so do chickens also do the “egg song” when they feel threatened? Bc I know my chicken she does that when ever she is trying to lay an egg and I lift up the nesting box cover
She is only telling you that she is laying an egg! You are not a threat to her!
They noises they make are so funny 😂
Lol! Haven’t had any Roos since 2017. 🙁 I got chickens approved in our township. But no roosters’
Where did the little chick go after the attack? Under the hay bale?
@@muffintop420 yes! As long as they are all inside the protected run, the hawk can't get to them!
I never thought they would be evacuating *in line.* These are smart chickens!
It doesn't take much, to set them off🤣
Watchdog says! Hawk coming let's go!😆
2:07 and this my friend is your nosy neighbor that will engage you in conversation when she noticed you have a new car.
hahaha! I had to find that spot to check it out!
Came from the girl who does the Hawk alarm to hear the real deal!
WOW! those chickens are wiser than what I thought they are running to hided into the chicken coop to save their life
Omg I love that this is a *nest* cam! 😂🤣
Isn't it great???
Wow! Whoever built that coop and run did a great job!
That would be my husband... the guy who didn't want chickens in the first place. Then the tiny run wasn't big enough, so he built a walk in run around the tiny coop... then he built a bigger coop and expanded the run twice... and put a window inside the coop at ground level so they could look out when it was snowy. Then there was a roof over part of the run... btw, there is an additional exterior run now :)🤣
It’s beautiful! I would love to live as a chicken in that coop
@@kennedy7848 😂😂😂
“I do say, the AUDACITY of some fowl!”
Congrats and goodluck im your new subcriber
Ginger: Listen. We'll either die free chickens or we die trying.
Babs: Are those the only choices?
lol!!!!!
I used to have a lot chickens, whenever a hawk or a eagle flies above, they always have call alert to warm other children’s to take cover. I don’t understand any chicken language but that’s the only one that chickens will always alert other chickens
my chickens do a quick bakk and then a low trill sound that there is a predator skyward. I learned that just by watching them several hours a day.
That made my heart jump. I lost my prize Black Australorp cockerel to a hawk attack a couple weeks ago. Next day I kept everyone in and the hawk was trying to get them still.
A week ago our flock went from 9 hens to 2 after a coyote attack
@@pinheadlarry1977 oh no that is so sad! If you were near me I could help you out. I just put some of for rehoming. I had a late hatch in October
@@lakeandtrailresale thank but we've decided to give our 2 hens to a friend and not get any more chickens
A few months ago the fox took 6 of our chickens and one of them was my prize wining Golden Sebright
@@lewisevans4655 oh no!!! That is aweful!!
1:40 escape the great escape
Which one is the rooster? The last one in, I hope.
I think she said in another comment she doesn’t/can’t have a rooster. So it was probably the head hen. The most dominant hen if you will.
Life of a Bibliophile Oh, okay, thanks.
Wow! That’s actually a good chicken run. Great capture at the right time as well.
What a bunch of chickens! LoL
I say,i say that's a chicken hawk!
That chicken that witness the attack close up was first to enter inside lol 1:42
They were very lucky and fast to run to theirs house, thanks for sharing
Hawk: Damn force fields around those city chickens!
The force is always with my chickens!
Ahaha they are so funny/smart and then one chicken came out briefly to see if it’s still around. 😅
🤣
Lol when they all got inside and all just start crying like “Jesus Christ! It almost got Juan! 😭I hate this place!”
🤣😂🤣😂
Nice run!
THANKYOU FOR MASTERING THE GOD REALM OF COMFORT PEACE AND SECURITY...YOU HAVE SET A STANDARD HOW RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE SHOULD LOVE THEIR PETS..YOUR FLEET OF CHICKS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I AM SO THANKFUL PEOPLE LIKE YOU OWN THEM...🛡️🛡️🛡️💎
My WiFi: You shall not look at dis moment...
Me wanting to see it: BOY- I wanna see this all my chickens from like 3 years ago got eaten by a Predator and only one serviced it I was sad and crying but I got more like a week after but sadly I had to give them away but I can’t always see them ;-; I miss them
2:08
neat haired woman with a cup of tea in her hand ☕:
"wha... wha.. what just happened? is that hawk?"
This chicken coup is impressive. Good job.
Thank you! The video is from 2018, and we have built a new coop, but the run is the same!
What a nice pen set up!!
Courtney BesserThank you!
That one brave mom must be having a child came back to clear her doubts.
this happened last week... a hawk dove into my neighbors chicken coop and busted a hole in the netting to keep animals out... thank god none of the chickens were hurt...
Glad to hear that! My run and all the windows in the coop had hardare cloth to keep it predator proof. Netting doesn't work- Hardware cloth is close to foolproof but pricey. I used to have 7"wire fencing outside the run mounted on metal tposts that included another 40X30 feet, I had aviary netting over that, and never had problems with anything breaking through the netting... I did have a hawk fly through a gap over the gate, who then got stuck for a couple of minutes under the aviary netting. There was planty of stuff for the hens to hid under if they didn't make it into the run! I lost hens to hawks in the begining until I got determined to keep them out and still let the chickens out for play time!
I have to say, I was kind of hoping the hawk would do a Looney Tunes style "splat" into the wire fence 😂
Gotta admit that I may have one of those clips somewhere! 🤣🤣🤣
@@evawikoff Please upload it! I wish no ill-will on hawks, but slapstick is slapstick!
@@peterclarke7240 I will start looking!
In love with that set up. Do they ever get let out?
Yes they do! At that time, they were only out when I was around, but you can see where the grass is growing back in front of the run - I usually have welded wire fenciing along a 50 foot section going to the left and there is aviary netting over that. It is predator proof enough to keep the hawks out. The flock is back inside the run by 6 and inside the coop once evening falls. Automatice coop door (chickenguard) that closes everything up tight. I'm usually down to lock the large door before dark, but that ChickenGuard door keeps them safe even if I'm not!
I was very focused on it and boom a hawk came there!! OMG
I love having a camera in the run! You see the most incredible things!
I love how they are very human like, they go inside to get cover and for saftey, like we go under the bunker when there is some kind of a bomb attack. Lol For some reasons, it felt very human like, especially the cool chicken at the end that didn't seem all that affected, too cool to act scared, so she walks gracefully to get to saftey.

Great work
There was a Congressional debate in the 'House' after the incident, but I can't figure out speakers of one party from the other.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is a dream coop! The chickens must be happy!
They are very spoiled!
they have such a lovely setup
Thank you!
U have a nice chicken setup. Ur chickens are very lucky!
Thank you!
The moving bucket !
The bucket is a nipple waterer! keeps the water clean :)
Beautiful surveillance you got there. Clear image
I use Nest cams!!! Pure coincidence - they are easy to set up!
I would have to say that Chickens are really smart birds
What a cozy cage
That is a lovely coop.
All these chicken was like f**k that I'm going home.
Those are some fat chickens!! lol They would give that hawk "what for"!!
Hawk: I bet they taste like chicken. Oh ya, of course.
2:08 Grey Chicken: "YOU GO ON HOME YOU SOM'MA BITCH!!!"
That one that walked fast out prior knew something was up
Bird on bird crime!
The hawk 'attack' happens for a few seconds at 1:42.
Little chickens 🐥,where they go 🦅
gorgeous henhouse!
2 :07- we are under attack hooman
Girl, you see that also got ma' baby i told her O' no not today Satan 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really like your Chicken's run. I want to build Chicken's run and house like yours.
Thank you! My husband built the run and then extended it so my girls would have more room! The coop at that time was a Suncast shed that we bought to use as a coop. It worked great, but I now have a coop that we built. Videos sometime in the future! 2x4s and hardware cloth!
2:07 they put the poor guy on lookout
Wowzerz
Where is the rest of the movie? I want to know what happened to the babies.
Lots of babies... for more videos you can see them on Facebook at Coop deGrass.
Thank you!
What a bunch of chickens! 🐔
hahahahaha i could not stop laughing after the that one on the top left jumping and runned fast into that house or howevery you say it in englisch .and btw i love this chicken house.thats what i call an damn house for chickens well done chickenowner
Thank you! Just a converted resin shed, but the run was all my husbands doing!
It’s like a school lockdown
DANK master 64 hahaha! You are so right!
After the attack and they were all in the hen house one hen came back out like she was fussing at the hawk, lol! 2:03
@ROIDO
Yeah, they went hiding and i think she was alerting them to stay put too.
She came out to see her chicks. She even tried to fight hawk when it suddenly attacked.
