Hawks

To any of you who have hawks preying on your chickens PLEASE BE AWARE that, depending on the species, some of those 'hawks' are protected and the killing or trapping of them is a federal offence!

Question regarding hawks...I have strung string in a grid pattern overhead. Will that be enough protection? I also have shade cloth that I could put up if needed.

we have a heavy netting over our chicken run to keep hawks from swooping down, and just yesterday i put up two umbrellas for shade after reading someone's post. they'll stay up until the snow flies! (could be Tuesday!!!)

hawks have excellent eyesight, i think the cross stringing should be a deterrent.
