[CHICKENS-101] Re: Coopers hawk

 

Folks have reported Old CD/DVD's also work well for "shiny dangles".  Suspend them with monofilament fishing line.

 

I note you cannot afford netting across the top of your pen - you probably can afford a ball of string and weave across the pen at 6 inch intervals. 

 

Another ploy that has worked  is to construct a device to make a lot of racket. 

 

One of my clients hung an old style round tin wash basin from a beam and a heavy fishing sinker pendulum style from the edge of the basin.  The sinker was attached to a long string that went through a hole in the middle of the bottom of the basin.   When the owl in this case arrived on top of the coop Roy jerked the string rapidly back and forth - made a hellva racket and scared off the owl.  Took it almost 2 weeks to return and one more treatment made absence permanent.

 

Good Luck
