Hawk!

Well, keep us posted if the goose / trash bags work. I have used scare tape and marking tape before and those do not help.

I suggest a chicken tractor.

This one is pretty darn sweet. They can be elaborate or much simpler.

We just had a hawk attack last week. A full size white Plymouth Rock. She lost some feathers but seems ok. I added some additional cover in the un covered part of the run. A wood pallet triangle. It is harder for the hawks to swoop in. At least that is my hope. They are still being kept in the covered area. ** edited to remove fat finger typing errors. **

I put up a plastic owl and some shiny black plastic strips around the pen and no problems sence
