We have tons a small birds flying in during the day pooping all over the coop and water feeder and just plain making a big mess all over their area. Also, they are eating up all the scratch I throw out for my hens and are going in the coop and eating up all the feed. I have to clean off the 1/2" of frozen poop from their ramps each night in order to close them and secure my coop.
We bought a Hawk decoy that we move to a new place each day. Total waste of money. They fly in and perch right next to it. I am thinking about buying reflective ribbon. Will this stress out my hens?
Any suggestions from those of you who are experiencing or have experienced the same problem?
