Definitely a buzzard. Where I live in Cornwall there are loads. I was only about 10m away from the second one before it flew off so had a good view. The chickens have a run of about 20m by 50m so can't justify cost of a roof, however I might try string with shiny things attached as a deterrent.... |

I hope the posters do not do anything to hurt the buzzards and please put a roof on like others have said.. |

Hello I just wanted to put on here that I have call ducks and the local buzzards definitely take mine. The last successful buzzard was on Saturday, I heard the commotion, ran out to see Bertie buzzard flying away with one of my boy ducks. The ducks are free range and do tend to wonder across the paddock, giving Bertie the pick of the bunch. Very upsetting but that`s nature I suppose. | | | |
