Has anyone tried fake hawk deterrent

Hello everyone,

Has anyone tried this device to ward off hawks when chickens are free ranging?

I have not. But I wonder if this might stress the hens out. Interested to hear what others say

Really? That’s a bummer. I had seen many good reviews on this.

I wondered the same. I definitely don’t want to stress them out.

After a week of having this in my backyard , the hens seem to not mind it. So far so good!

I’m not sure how a fake hawk will keep other hawks away. We have many hawks at a time and they don’t keep each other away.

Crows keep them away. I put fake crows out but I’m not sure how much it’s helping. I put out shiny objects. My neighbor put a bunch of old cds on fishing line and it sparkles like crazy.I think that helps.
