My chickens free range in my back yard, a fenced off enclosure about 1/4 of an acre (i have about an acre total land). I put a decoy owl on the chicken coop last fall and that deterred this one halk for about a year. But today i heard the chickens freaking out and a halk was trying to get under the big droopy bush my chickens like to hide under and it snagged a 7 day old chick the mom took out to teach how to scratch at dirt and stuff. Just picked it up with its talons and flew away.
Then I heard the hawk startling the neighbors chickens across the woods.
How do i deter hawks even more? I read fishing line 3-4 feet apart but its too much land to cover and it would be an eyesore for myself and neighbors
