Thank you jenna. The garden is enclosed by two fences, but the hawk got in there anyway. I'd have to cover the whole thing with wire. I thought with all the trees and plants in there, they would be able to avoid predators, but this chicken wasn't very bright compared to the other two. Now I'm worried the hawk will come back to try to get the others. He didn't take the corpse with him; my husband scared him away, but now he knows he can kill the little chickens, he'll probably be back. But I don't want to close them in their little house,where they spend the night, because they are used to having the run of the garden and being able to forage all day. Hawks are always a danger to chickens here, we have both Red tailed Hawks (this was one) who hunt in the open, and Cooper's Hawks, who fly under the tree canopy. It was a perfectly "natural" death for a small bird, but I'm sad, she was a sweet little chicken.
