Breeding
We hand-raise the hawks for their first 5-6 days of life. This increases the survival rate. There are many changes happening within the first few days of life, making this is a particularly delicate time. Some of these changes include absorption of the yolk sac, and activation of the digestive system. We give the chicks to the parents when they are 5 to 6 days old.
