Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on getting rid of an owl. For the past 2 weeks there has been a large owl stalking my chickens. The first time I saw it it was sitting on the ground right in front of my chicken coop at night- thankfully all my chickens were locked in. A few days later I went outside at 10:30 am and saw the owl fly away as soon as I walked outside. Last night I heard it up in the tree in our backyard. My chickens are free range during the day and I lock them up at night. I am afraid this owl is going to start killing all of my chickens. I'm assuming it is illegal to kill it, but is there anything I can do to scare it away? I have dogs but they stay in the fenced in back yard which is about 30 feet away from the chicken coop and obviously they can't do anything about the owl.
