i have had some good luck w/ cover crops and i also grow some sunflowers on the sides of my run fences for some shade and cover and then pick the flowers in fall and feed the seeds. i have tried rape, buckwheat,winter rye,clover,mixed pasture grasses. what i find works the best is the winter...

hawks are birds of prey and they are federally protected so if you were to "harass" it that would be illegal. you could try crow decoys or hang some cds on string i believe that hawks don't like the flashing of the shiny cds. i did that because i had a hawk that would roost on the coop roof he...
