We have a red tail hawk that has killed two ladies and our rooster. Has any found a deterrent for hawks when your chickens are free-range?
We let our chickens free-range for tick and insect control. We hate that we lose them to a hawk, but don't want to put them in a pen because that would defeat our main reason for having them. Yet we feel just terrible that they are being killed.
We have three dogs 50lb dogs who are pets. The Bernese Mountain Dog-mix and the Australian Koolie do an excellent job chasing off the hawk, but we don't leave them outside all the time.
Thanks for any suggestions.
