Wow. That's a nice area for ducks and people.I love to share pictures! Thanks for asking!
Shiny things do attract crows! I never knew that, until reading:Thanks for the suggestions. I've taken a twofold approach by creating additional hideouts for my chickens in my backyard, and adding a lot of shiny stuff to annoy the hawk. It looks as weird as it sounds, ngl. My backyard looks pretty psychedelic. I made a chicken teepee from branches and my bf made a structure from two pallets, like a hut or a cabana. I'm going to add one more teepee and I have more shiny things coming plus a roll of bird scare tape to put on the back of my chickens. Ha ha, I'm kidding on the last one. I've been keeping my chickens in during AM, letting them out in the afternoon when risk seems lower. My hope is that these modifications will enable my chickens to be out in the yard all day. Jolene, my faverolle, fly-hops around out of sheer joy when she's finally let out of the coop.
I did read about promoting crows to deter hawks. I wasn't able to find any clear strategies to promote crows in the yard beyond offering general bird attractions (food, water, trees). Maybe the shiny stuff will attract them? Fingers crossed.
