We are infested with owls, which I like. There's enough game here to keep them busy and away from my birds.Mine are also very scared of Barred Owls even though not much of a threat. The chickens do not see the Barred Owls and Great-horned Owls enough to tell them apart.
It's the all out hooting contests that can drive you insane on sleepless nights, though. I never get tired of it. (I even have an owl call to play along.) But one super sleepy night, about 330am, I did yell back, "I"ll cook for you, if you'll just SHUT UP!
