Well this morning little man and I went down to do our daily morning chores - feeding and checking on everyone. As we were walking up to the chicken coop I noticed a Hawk flying very low coming towards the pin. I started clapping real loud to scare it off and then realized it was being chased by the Purple Martins. It was a sight to see ;-) They chased the hawk around the pasture and then it flew up towards the house and they were still going after it. So besides taking care of mosquitos apparently they take care of hawks as well. Luckily the Purple Martin houses are close enough to the chicken coop that they can keep a watch on our flock. The chickens were smart they were hiding in the shed when the air show was taking place. Smart chickens ;-0)
