I've been having a problem with a hawk killing several chicks - I think it's up to five or six now? I put out CDs, but that only briefly worked. I've locked the chicks in their house for the time being, but that of course is not sustainable.
The trouble is, the yard is not an ideal setup for putting up any kind of defenses. The fences are relatively low, and the only real cover is an old trampoline, but that only shelters about a quarter of the yard.
I've seen a lot of great advice in other threads on keeping hawks at bay, but most of it cannot be applied to this particular yard.
Any advice would be really appreciated!
