They're Killing Our Chickens! 

What about a movable chicken fence - house?

My mother and father in law use whistling bottle rockets to scare them off.

And it’s fun for the family!!

My chickens come running to me. Just train them. Give them treats at a certain time of day. Eventually they associate you with treats and they will follow you right into the coop. I trained both my turkeys and my chickens. It is awesome.

Blue Jays do the same thing only these birds mimic the sound of the hawk to warn other birds. It happened one day, I heard this going on, but after the incident I went on online to find that this is exactly what they do and I found a Leghorn pullet partially defeathered and one side of its body picked off including it's brain and neck and gut area. Largely though I have little issues with hawks because I keep 5 roosters with the 29 hens and it has worked so far. I happen to also have 6 other roosters penned, believe me, I hear when there is a hawk in the tree, they let me know!!!

Put a recording on a delayed repeat on top of a pole with a speaker on it 😂

Great idea. I'm glad it works.

Ravens are Kool. I first 'met" them in Alaska :-)

And, those black birds are sooo intelligent!

Hello Beth How are you doing today?

Clever. I’ll look into that.

Good one!! I use a recording of the Eastern Screech Owl (on my phone) when I hear mice in the walls...works like a charm, and you only have to play once a season. I pretend that I am the Owl fluttering and scratching around the room that has the problem.

Correct, it is about 49 years of TREASON making total control of humans possible! You must begin to understand that all 194 UN Member Countries Government Politicians agreed to work for the United Nations 49 years ago, you can research your Country's Government Politicians 49 years ago to see who was your Politician in your Government became your very first TRAITOR for the United Nations 49 years ago the UN was already controlled by the International Economic Order (the same Monster Klaus Schwab, they changed their name to the WEF)! First of many in your Country! In my country Australia, in 1975 with no public consultation, the ALP government of Gough Whitlam supported by the LNP of course, signed Australia up to the United Nations Lima Declaration which required Australia to reduce its manufacturing capabilities by around 30% and to commit to importing that amount from other preferred countries China, Vietnam, India. Pakistan, etc) That was the beginning of the now endemic TREASON by both Labor/Gang-green and the LNP Politicians, they take turns telling the State Governments and all Councils regional and local Councils, these people don’t even realise they are working against the citizens who pay their wages! 49 years of being instructed by your Government what the latest UN Instructions are working for the UN=EU=WHO=WEF globalist monsters helping these evil Creatures destroying the freedoms we have lived with since 52 Million people died fighting the previous Globalist Monster Adolph Hitler 90 Years ago in 2024 we are witnessing our and your Politicians and Bureaucrats are increasing their attacks on private property Gardens, did you think the back in 2015 your TRAITORS agreed UN agenda 2030 sustainability programs was about benefiting you? No, by 2030 their Great Reset should have taken all of your private property away from you, the TRAITORS are increasing all taxes on all private property, Housing, transport, cash, and of course FOOD! All food must be created and controlled by the Globalists, they will stop you from growing your own healthy food, do you remember the video of Dr Billy Goats telling his audience about their great achievements in Vaccine and mRNA plants for food production that will certainly be able to dramatically reduce the global human population to their sustainable target by 2035, where did these Globalist evil monsters evolve from?

Dogs would infuriate me. That’s not nature. That’s lazy owners.

just shoot the dogs. problem solved.

I shot the neighbors dogs that had killed another neighbor's duck. The people knew their dogs killed. Shot with a 22, my 12g wasn't assembled yet but, it's been assembled now. 2 White huskies had 3 -22s in them. Dog Warden told them they were fortunate I didn't have the 12g assembled. The next time they will have the 12g. Actually killed a hen that day & rooster died 2 months later

@@Rosethatwantstomove this is what we refer to as the Triple S method... Shoot, Shovel & Shut up

@@Rosethatwantstomovedog warden 😂

😂 Thanks!

@@HAXMAN i've heard that if you get some geese they'll chase the hawks away

Great idea thank you!

Yup roosters. I never lost a chook til I lost my roosters. And only lost to hawks

Hang pie pans around your chicken yard,I've never lost a chicken in 15 years,due to this!

EGGS NOW. $7.

I lost all my roosters. I had four. Now my chickens have no "man" to look after them. 😞 Caught a bobcat chomping down on my last rooster one day, and I was just a few feet away cleaning the chicken coop and heard nothing! When I stepped out of the chicken coop, I threw a pooper scooper at the cat and my 4 month old rooster started jumping around like a fish out of water. He rolled down this drop-off and died. One little hen ran after him, but saw that he was gone and ran right back up the the hill to where I was standing. And, that was my last rooster. We've got hawks, coyotes, bobcats, stray dogs, skunks, racoons, ringtail cats, opposums and who knows what else likes to eat my chickies out here.

Simpler times

Those old school men were legends. I worked for a guy who shot a bat that wouldn't leave his living room. I wasn't there for the shot, but I got to see the patched hole in the ceiling. He was a Korean War Vet. 😁

Yeah, I even chase giant loose dogs now, even though I’m actually afraid of big dogs lol

@@tiffanyclark-grove1989 I do the same, chase the dogs.

She looked just like a momma should imho.

Never seen a grown woman run so fast, well, almost.

? fellow - - chicken mama ? is that a double superlative

Parallel, horizontal lines of bailing twine over top about 2-3 feet apart works pretty well for my family's chickens.

With all sincerity, does the line affect backyard birds? I'm in a suburb, and we HAD backyard hens, but neighborhood predators and illness (Marek's Disease) got them all. Our last one died this past September. That said, the backyard birds literally flocked to our backyard because of our dogs protecting the chickens. Even with a few Coopers and kites in our area (or we are in theirs), they only went after the backyard birds and never the hens. I'd hate to have line or netting destroy the comfort zone of the backyard birds.

true !!

I love the balloon man but mostly the look on ya'alls faces. ❤

our great p passed away last year... such a great dog

@@jameslow5536 rest in peace so sorry to hear

YES!!!! For sure!!!! It is in the Pyrenees blood!!!THEY WILL PROTECT WHATEVER AND WHO EVER THEY LIVE WITH. I HAD 2!!! They are the best!!! But you need to get them a special collar that has spikes sticking up from the collar so if something like a coyote or wolf or another dog or whatever tries to attack, when they go to bite their throat they get a mouthful of spikes!

I agree! I trained mine from young with cheese as treats and saying "Come Come Come", they would come running even now they are adults. It's been really useful countless times with or without cheese in my hands...

I prefer saying “peep”. It works ok.

Thanks for the info. How you get a mean ass chicken to chill out? Some trouble makers in the bunch.

@@goldflow6690 well first find out if its being picked on..look up natural essential oils that can be used on chickens to help calm them down. Check what's in the feed your giving them! Chickens can have allergies just like us. Above everything else PRAY over your chickens all of your animals, family, self. God can touch us all. Be careful, be cautious, be mindful, be watchful, be prepared, above all PRAY. 🛐📖🙏🕊️ Show ❤️ like Jesus then if need be 🔫🏹 then victory 🙌🙌

100,000 hens destroyed in fire in Connecticut End of January this year.

Hardware cloth is massive overkill for hawks but 100% required to keep raccoons from deheading all your birds through the chicken wire. You can use deer cloth for the top if it's just raptors.

That’s brilliant

Crows are hawks #1 enemy. You might also try raising some glossy black chickens to deter the hawks.

Get some turkeys

That's not gonna help. Buy a nylon net. $20 for like 120ft

@@jason200912 we haven’t lest an animal since I placed the cd’s. It’s been 4 years. The hawks still circle and even dive but then fly away 🤷🏼‍♀️

What an interesting idea maybe we can use cds to ward off Drones & Fighter Jets 😱

Mine too

I noticed how joyful they were.

The shorts.

This dude is easy to entertain

lol, no chicken soup for them.

Thanks!

@@HAXMAN Thank you! ❤👍

Thanks Rodney! You as well.

Thank you so much

Yep... that was when I hit the subscribe button.

Hello Cynthia How are you doing today?

The content he puts out works, I installed a diy well on my property following his video.

Wow, even Ravens huh?

@@tiffanyclark-grove1989 yep, carnivores

Feed the Ravens in an area somewhere away from your chickens…trust me: make friends & they’ll understand…gain their trust & you’ll never have a problem (Ravens and Crows teach their young, and their extended families about us, humans…who’s cool & who’s not. Be cool)

@@JaimeBlackBird true. Crows/ravens are super intelligent and sociable. I don’t have an open lot. Mine is planted with numerous small trees so they generally stay at the perimeter of my place where there’s more open space

Hello Laura How are you doing today?

🙌

They used to do that here in Australia with our Wedge Tailed Eagles and sheep stations. Driving through there you'd see a massive eagle spread out on the barbed wire fences. Out of interest the biggest one recorded had a wing span of 13 feet, they attack kangaroos as well as just about anything else here

bird shot from the shotgun?

Good catch! 😉😄

Thanks Suzy

Get a turkey (a tom). Raise him with the chickens, and when he gets to around 20lbs, let them roam. Be careful, because toms aren't very child friendly, but hawks are scared shitless of them.

Legal or not I have a remedy for Hawks and I have used it several times. For the life of me I don't understand why they're still protected there are so many here in Kentucky

@@cericson3426 Our problem is eagles, and not much we can do about them. Just have to be watchful and keep the flock protected.

Did you see them last year, talking about the next Planned-demic it's ready to go according to the "people in the know" like these trusted humanitarians Bill Gates and Fauci talked about it in November 2022, how do the "people in the know" able to predict global food shortages? We know that Bill Gates is now the largest private Farmland owner in the USA, I didn't know Bill Gates was a farmer until recently? Certainly, the WEF's United Nations Climate Change UN agenda 2030 has worked marvellously for all UN Member Countries guided by the UN's POLITICIAN TRAITORS in control of your Governments; the population has embraced the illusion of GREEN Replaceables, lovingly called RENEWABLES? we are just putty in the hands of our POLITICIANS (old heads remember the beginning of the TREASON by all UN Member country POLITICIANS 40 plus years ago, the UN LIMA agreement, that was the begging of the end of democracy in the WEST since then our controlling POLITICIANS have been loyal only to the unelected United Nations Bureaucrats, we know that Klaus Schwab had successfully infiltrated the UN before the UN LIMA AGREEMENT remember? He and his comrades were the "International Economic Order." Today these monsters are the “World Economic Forum” once they succeeded in taking the use of cash away from us all, giving us all digital # 7,820,963,721.your number relates to all your savings, and the best part of their plan is to prevent you from buying what they decide you are not entitled to, (this will make most of you laugh) if you try to buy an insect past burger, their AI instantly decides that you have eaten your allocated Cricket burgers for the week and your card will be declined, sure you are upset and still hungry, so you complain, then their AI will fine your savings because of your not being a good global Citizen, complain again and it's off to the RIGHT THINK Hospital! ( hahaha, What a laugh, that can't possibly happen; that's like being able to predict the next Planned-Demic? impossible hahahaha)

I fear the reason you haven't lost any is they haven't been discovered by those predators yet. I can't count the times a skunk would get in the coop at night and then stink up everything because he couldn't drag the dead chicken back through the same whole he got in through. The worst destruction of all though is when neighbors dogs discover the chickens. They kill them for fun so they will kill all the chickens given the chance.

Add snakes to your list. They swallow eggs whole

@Onemoreday 1 They do. And they'll eat chicks as well. That's why I have multiple roosters and cats. The biggest threat to my birds are loose dogs.

@@michaelward9880 agreed

I have used this method in the past it works very well. But also I grew up in a fishing community so the owls and hawks are accustomed to people stretching out nets for fishing and they have learned its a danger to them.

I've seen those. Very clever.

I might have to try that with ducks so I can move them from my garden to the Orchard and various ponds and the vineyard once that's set up

This sounds great except if the free range for the chickens is also free range for other livestock.

It's the cold weather. There is less food available so chickens make easy pickins.

Try hanging some aluminum pie pans all over in the trees. Hawks and owls hate them. Make sure they twirl in the wind.

I've seen where people keep a guard goose. Maybe I need to look into that more.

@@HAXMAN I asked him just now, he said to get two so they don't feel lonely / sad

@@HAXMAN I’ve heard that a Goose is very effective. I know they’re a bit loud, so I can’t keep it in town I don’t think.

@@HAXMAN guard goose and some black chickens. Apparently, hawks think the black chickens are crows.

Awesome! Thank you!

@@HAXMAN Most welcome. I'm planning on a coop soon. We are definitely under owls and hawks. It's gonna be the raptor rapture soon. Lol

Wow, thank you!

Yes. I really find them amazing but I'm not going to keep feeding them.

@@HAXMAN I understand. I feel that way about squirrels with my bird feeders. I know it's not the same but still. I bought bird seed not squirrel food! Go away! Haha

We have hawks and eagles I absolutely hate them i dont think it's a joy to see one i would get joy if one of my livestock guard dogs was actually able to catch one I would find joy In seeing a dog or pig eat one of them.

@@tkfarms4337 hawks and eagles here too. Our big 'ol tom scares them off, and doesn't bother the chickens much.

@@tkfarms4337 Read the room, buddy. Geez.

We had hybrid coyotes who'd charge the pen where our chickens were, scaring them. They kept it u until the hens quit laying. When these coyotes starting bothering our orphan baby calves, my husband killed 4 with a double barrel shotgun. He also shot a rabid skunk in our mare labor pen. Police drove up at that time, he told my husband he wasn't to fire gun in city limits. My husband showed him the rabid skunk and the policeman got into his car saying, "Carry on, Mr. Wells, carry on."

😁 Thanks!

😄 Thanks

🤣🤣🤣

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

How do you keep the cats out the domestic ones that is ? ? We don’t have any wild ones In my country. Like a bobcat or fox

Just have to have a coup and not free range then. And have a caged in area outside the coup for them to graze in. I plan on building this when I get the money for all the materials

I feel for you cuz I've been there, done that. The dogs are the worst. Most people don't realize domestic dogs will leave home and pack together, get in trouble, then separate and go to the home where the owners believe "fluffy wouldn't hurt a flea". We didn't have a whole lot of trouble with coons and the chickens cuz the coons were to intent on destroying the garden. If you depend on the livestock and the produce for survival then the war on predators is a very real thing. I understand they are only doing what they have to to survive but I will do the same. Bobcat fur for instance is quit valuable and they're easy to trap.

We gotta pack of wild dogs that roam our properties thru the summer , SWVA. But the geese have pretty much kept them at bay.

they want the linked to a health passport

My mother had chickens and pigs. I turned 80 years old last week and wish I could have chickens and goats but is now too much work for me.

😂
