So I just had a hawk kill my chicken right in front of me in our backyard. I am still traumatized. I had done many of the things suggested to keep the hawks away, none of which that particular hawk cared a lick about. Then I read about crows and hawks being enemies and then it dawned on me why we hadn't seen the hawks in several months; we had a murder of crows hanging out in our trees. The crows left, the hawks moved back. One thought led to another and I started looking into crow calls to get them back, then I noticed that there are crow call CD's and then happened upon an owl CD and someone had commented that they used this CD playing continuosly to protect their flock of chickens and that it worked like a charm. I did research and it turns out that hawks have very excellent hearing. Could it really be that simple? Any thoughts?
