I thought only Red-tailed Hawks attacked chickens. Notice how the Cooper slithers past the ceiling fencing so easily.

Wow! What a video! Never would have thought that. My neighbor has chickens and never saw an attack. Wow!

A rooster used to chase my wife every time it saw her. It bothered no one else.

I used to chase my wife every time I saw her too. Now, I chase her a couple times a month.
