This owl wont stop attacking my chickens and ducks!

[cmom]

i have a camera installed but i haven't had the chance to look at yet,im hoping it captured it happening. I also just ordered this heavy super duty netting so maybe it will be better,also im thinking of just making a solid roof,but its a big coop so not sure how much money i would be spending

This is the netting I bought the last time. It is like the original netting that has been up for many years and still good. I should have returned the crappy netting but though it might still deter any aerial predators. I was amazed when the owl went through the crappy netting, three times and each time I replaced the section it went through. It didn't go through this netting.

Probably a Great Horned Owl. That is what we have here.

thats what i was thinking,i live surrounded by the woods,so many predators around here,ive even had a fox come in and take a chicken when it was out of its pen

LISTEN! Get chicken guard. When you put the chickens away for the night the chicken guard automatically will shut after sundown so nothing can get it or out!

Yes I’ve had it for almost a year and no more hawks or any animals are getting in! It’s amazing

If you have to many trees blocking the light it even goes on a timer! I recommend it because of your problem with your chickens

i really needed something affordable and sturdy for my roof so this owl will leave my chickens alone,but anyways yes i have looked at these automatic chicken doors,but i always think like what if it shut on a chicken..

I don't close my pop doors at night. I do have electric wires around the coops, the heavy duty netting covering the pens and concrete under the gate. Since I replaced the crappy netting with some good netting, no more owl issues. I have heard them but they haven't tried to get at the birds. Nothing has. The bobcat outside my chick/grow-out coop. Those pop doors I do shut.
