Does hanging shiny things help?

It was never meant to scare them away and doesn't. It's meant to throw off their dive into the pens, by throwing reflections, plus the crisscrossed lines that the CDs dangle from to twist and turn don't give them much room to dive safely.

It worked for us for years, though the main pen is now way too large to do that anymore and when they free range, I depend on my alert roosters to warn the flock against hawk attack.

Makes sense. Thx!
 
a guinea works fine for that to, they get it out further though

We were losing several chickens a year until we hung up the silver tape. We have not lost a single one to hawks since hanging these up. We have a lot up and they work great.
