    I’ve not seen any birds in the yards. I’d give it a try. But, we know crows are a whole different beast! I have a lot of crows myself.

    Thanks! I just wanted to share a fairly cheap, but effective way to protect our flock. It’s been a year now, and I have not lost one chicken. I do this for two large yards.

    Hi Mary, I’d like to,give you an update on this. It’s been a year and two yards later. I have NOT LOST one chicken to a hawk. My girlfriend is using it as we speak. She’s amazed! I’m always going to use this method going forward.

    I ordered them off Amazon, along with the shorter shepherds hooks. They weren’t too expensive. They came four in a pack. I just stuck them every 4/5 feet. The areas I’m using them in a re pretty large. I just wanted the hawks to see there were a lot in there. I’ve been doing this since February...

    Hi. I live in middle Tennessee surrounded by trees. Hawks are my big problem…at least they were.. they are not now, thanks to a friend who told me his secret. He has ducks and chickens on a large lot. He told me to use disco balls on shepherds hooks. I did, and haven’t seen a hawk since! After...

    Moms a step

    This afternoon I watched a wonderful sight. The only chick born to one of my broodies, couldn’t jump from the coop to the steep below. It was too high. As I watched Maude, his mom, went over and talked to him. She then went up to the step and leaned against the coop. She told the chick to jump...

    Flock with no rooster

    Sussex are huge. That was part of my problem. But, my husband will help me. He’ll catch and I’ll hold him down. He’s a BIG boy, so I’ll definitely cover up.

    Flock with no rooster

    He’s a big boy! I’m not that big, but that sounds much better. I’ve always known I had to do something like that to him… I just wanted a few chicks. But, having someone go broody is the key. I’m not set up to incubate right now. haha😆

    Flock with no rooster

    Dear Jar, I DO understand rooster dominance. I’ve had many roosters over the years. But none of them are mean like he is. I had considered giving him the treatment you prescribed, but I’m not sure how the girls would react. Right now, they all trust me. I also do not full unless I have to. But...

    Flock with no rooster

    I agree. He’s going… I coddled him too much I guess. But I’ve coddled him when he was young. Now I’m paying the price. I’ve gad lovely roosters for so many years-but not him!
