When Eagles Attack

Every day, we have seen the eagle.  Yesterday afternoon it attacked again!  This time it cornered two chickens in my garden.  The window was cracked open and M heard the roosters call the alarm.  He ran out, with us all close behind, and was able to scare it off the hens and into the tree.  M has never been so close to an eagle.

 We were able to save the hens, but one was badly injured.  She is resting easy today.

Both roosters and some hens were hiding under the bushes next to the garden.  The rest of the poultry, including the turkeys, high-tailed for the coop.  A very exciting moment in our poultry-raising experience!

"It's safe to come out now!"
