We actually closed the coop doors before sunset for over a month. That made the owls go elsewhere. And I called the DNR to come and they caught 2. So far no owls in the area. With how large our pen is the DNR comes monthly to check the area. They even saved 2 woodpeckers that had been harmed. But one is still a pest and huge. ;-). We leave our new 10ft walls up and top open. A few of our ducks like to fly around the yard and go to the lake close by. Usually bringing friends home that eat and leave. Apparently I get to feed all the wild ducks in the area too. My kids enjoy it. The chickens like the ducks too. And our rooster is the sweetest thing g ever. Any hurt bird he protects. Even the dead ones until I see it and can clear out the body.
