Running Around As If The World Is Ending

I finally found out what that means, at least as far as my chickens are concerned. I was in my office the other day, and suddenly heard just an awful commotion from the chickens – much more than usual. I looked out and could see them running all around while screeching at the top of their lungs. I went out on the deck to see what was happening, and a hawk was flying away. The chickens had finally all run into the coop, and they didn’t come out again for quite awhile. The coop is fully covered, so no one got hurt, except for the hawk getting embarrassed.
