I probably posted this in the wrong forum, so I thought I'd try it over here.
I had an owl decoy sitting in the middle of my garden. My chicks (9 weeks old) have not discovered the garden yet. I moved my owl decoy to the end of my garden, which is in the direction of where my chicks would come from once they do figure out I have a garden. Has anyone had any luck with a decoy to deter the chicks or will they just ignore it and curiously peck at it as they go by?
I also feel like it may attract a real owl, which I understand, would have a disastrous outcome.
