Why is this mildly infuriating?
A farm animal killed a wild predator who was preying on other farm animals. That sucks, but it’s also a reality of us producing food.
I don’t think OP is ever gonna come explain what his issue with this is.
If I kept chickens, I would have a net over (we have hawks and other aerial predators as well) to avoid the situation, but if something somehow snuck in, this would be a good thing in my opinion.
We had a huuuuuge rooster when we first started keeping chickens that fought off large dogs on multiple occasions. Unfortunately he fought off the wife and the kids a few times as well, so he had to go.
He got after my 4 year old son once and pecked a hole in his shoulder before I got to him, but when I kicked him it was like kicking a bag of concrete. It hurt my foot enough I was sure I had killed him but he got up and walked off like nothing happened.
Did anyone have roosters down as “the enemy”?
They’re all a bunch of cocks as far as I’m concerned!

What do you mean “nearly” killed? It says the hawk didn’t survive.
Nearly died, and then it did
This isn’t always the case.
I had a salmon flaverolle rooster, one of the stereotypical cockfighting breeds, known for their aggression and beautiful plumage.
A raccoon got into the coop and mortally wounded one hen and killed the hen that was the only one to stand up and fight, a silkie. Silkies are tiny fluffy luxury birds with fluffy feathers on their feet, they don’t have good meat and lay eggs with a diameter smaller than a quarter. She was the only hen that scared the rooster because she beat the hell out of him when he tried to breed her a few times. She ruled the roost with tiny fluffy feet and handled disputes between birds 3-4x her size without issue.
The rooster? Unharmed entirely and found cowering on the top roost. He wouldn’t fight a raccoon, but he would always try to disembowel me when I went into the coop.
Huh. They have minds of their own yeah?
They are each their own birds and have personalities.
I’m imagining the rooster with Bill Duke’s voice.
I mean, unlike a certain president. With “bone spurs”.
That hawks face … pure shock and embarrassment.
Jesus fucking Christ you don’t have to talk about Trump on every post.
Roosters can shut the fuck up.
Right I don’t care about protecting your back yard chickens I care about sleeping in on the weekends
