I understand if you hang reflective aluminum pie tins and old CDs that spin and flash, it will confuse the hawks and they'll leave. I looked for a good reference but couldn't find one. Anyway, it might be worth a shot.

Well this is GREAT NEWS for Shakopee and overall for the rest of us who live in suburbs that think they are too high and mighty for chickens!
