A couple of weeks ago, I had a crow problem. I put up some shiny things and sort of tried some of the ideas posted here-short of a covered run for my then 53 CornishX.
Sunday morning at 6:30A, I had a different experience. I donated a chicken to our national emblem, the bald eagle!
He dove in and thundered away in a couple of seconds. I've seen them catch fish from a distance, and seen them on video...but 30' outside my window was something different entirely. They are an amazing animal.
My defense against future eagle attacks was to narrow the electronet down from 30x50 to 10x70 with it narrowed down after the corner posts...
So far, no more eagles.
I still like the electronet better than the tractor...it is pretty easy stuff to deal with.
