Howdy,
I am a newbie to the forum, but I promise to bring good content and humor. I started raising ducks (see I told you I was funny), and I have lost 3 to owls. Two in one night!!
I have an idea for deterring owls and hawks, and I wanted to see if anyone has tried it. My quackers are somewhat free range, and their open pen is a buffet table for the owls. I am not sure why the hawks have not come around, perhaps we have too much activity. Anyway here is my idea...
CROW DECOYS!! Crows are natural enemies to owl and hawks alike. So why not post a few crow decoys around my coop and favorite duck hangouts?
Do you think it will work?? I plan on trying it anyway, but I wanted to see if anyone had thought of it before.
Thanks, (sounds like quack)
Many Thunders
