Owl problem

[K&A Corral]

Hello everyone I have a problem and I heard that I will do not like to hunt when there’s a lot of noise so with that being said if I hang windchimes around my coupe will that bother my chickens as they roost at night

Hi there! I certainly understand your problem, I have problems with owls myself. I don't think it will bother the chickens, they might be a little freaked at first, but they should get used to it after a few minutes. Good luck!

I don't think wind-chimes will help. I had an owl kill several of my birds. It stopped after I covered the pens with some netting.

I would go with the netting as well, it's about the only way you can stop a aerial predator.

Welcome! Only having a predator proof coop will save them, and a safe run, covered, and no free ranging for a two or three weeks.
