We listened to our subscribers and tried a bunch of different ways to scare away all the hawks that have been lurking around our property. #homesteading #farm #predators #predatorcontrol
I have been using a duck decoy painted black like a crow. It has wings that spin when the wind blows. I have it mounted on a 20 foot long piece of bamboo where it can spin around any direction. Haven't had a hawk kill any chickens in over a year now.
Good luck with keeping the hawks away. My favorite line of the day is when you said you was looking forward to meet the Tom Cruise of CZcams Jason....😂😂😂😂
My daddy would use empty chip bags, turn them inside out and cut strips to about 2-3 inches from bottom and staple to tree or sticks to put in fence n fence posts. Or nail stick to side of barn n such pens.
Loved your editing on this video. The bit with Mason counting down.. you running with the pinwheels.. the close up of the pinwheels and the owl. Very amusing. Haha
Looks like you have good ideas for pushing the hawks back. Almost got all my ducks in a row to go to the meet up in Oklahoma aswell. Looking forward to meeting you face to face. Keep up the awesome work as you grow your farm and CZcams channel, and thank you for inviting us in and sharing part of your day with us.
We have a small 3 lb gorgeous gray doggie that potties outside (she is an indoor dog). We are always scared about a hawk taking off with her. If we buy a plastic or ceramic black bird and leave it in our yard, do you think that would keep hawks away from our yard?
Can't harm a hawk in our area. Bad news bears for anyone who does. We do have crows and they will push hawks out so we are grateful for the crows. Hi Destiny, nice to meet you.
I put all sorts of similar things up and a hawk took a second of my white chickens from me in 2 weeks time. I’ve had chickens over a year with no attacks. Now I’m covering my girls with netting because I cannot stand to see that sight again. A hawk leaves total carnage.
Hawks and falcons are HORRIBLE. I absolutely DESPISE even seeing one.😡 I've seen way too many of the critters I feed get snatched by those evil things and it breaks my heart.
I built an automatronic owl with a built in speaker that mimic the screeching of an owl. Along with that I have added a function that move the head along with the wings to give it a feeling of movement. Hawks have never visited me again.
We used the CDs and pinwheels to keep crows and birds from eating our grass seed. It worked. I used plastic owls at old house to get rid of woodpeckers. I think you’re covered.
Your yard is so open, pretty but open to the skies. Is there any way to run lines of metal wire or heavy fishing line with the CD's hanging from them above your heads so they can't or won't swoop down in the middle of your defenses? Like 10 or 12 foot high clotheslines, lol
Get them Hawk's. They are pest. Windy and calling for rain again in my part of VA again. Mel is looking good. Nice to meet you niece. I hope you and your family have a great day.
About the big breasted Tom turkeys. They are not sterile they just can't mate on their own. Male sample has to be collected and the hen then artificially inseminated.
We need a complete overhaul of the laws and government in this country Used to be folks Had the right to protect their livestock until silly ubanites demanded protection for animals at the expense of common sense
Shane...since you have ducks be careful with those crow decoys. Running the hawks off is good but attracting more crows isn't...crows are hell on duck eggs.
Saturday, my chickens were out in the yard, I was setting up my little greenhouse. I saw a massive shadow on the ground and looked up, there were 9 huge turkey vultures circling my chickens, and they were low!! 😱 (WE LIVE IN THE CITY.) I started yelling and waving my arms real big running towards my chickens LOL I got them all safely in the run, but it took me 30 minutes to calm down, LOL Turkey vultures are supposed to be scavengers, but they were so low, they were definitely thinking about grabbing a chicken.
The black headed buzzards will catch and kill. They will catch a cow giving birth and kill the cow and/or calf. If a cow gets down she's fair game for those. Had a 3 month old calf that had her eyes pecked out by them. She was otherwise healthy. But dead just the same.
I cant even remember what I did lol. This video is 2 yrs ago. Honestly every thing I've ever tried has help bit nothing has been 100 percent because we let our birds go where ever they want and our farm is 18 acres so we still loose one occasionally. Mostly in the spring when the hawks have hatched their eggs and are really trying to get alot of food brought to their chicks is when we have the most problems
you know Shane most people decorate their trees at christmas not march lol and wind winders are for summer...... i really think you have a seasonal disorder lol lmao hugsssss from Ontario Canada
Best way is a shotgun we've got several around here One thing about it there persistent little boogers Were going to meet up to theres several i would like to meet

Awesome I will definitely need to try that for sure.
What your saying sounds Very Groundbreaking do you think you could make a video of your contraption so I can get an idea of how to make one?
Looking forward to meeting y'all at the meetup.....Love and Hugs from Oklahoma
GOOD luck keeping your fowl safe! It is great that your niece can and will help. Jason talks very highly of you!
We love that guy. Can't wait to see him

That's an awesome idea
Major hawk problem here so I’m watching this video. Read your comment as I’m chomping down some Doritos. Good idea I’ll try it with this bag 😂
I hate the hawks lol
Good luck with all your hard work.. 🤗

Good luck, hopefully one or all will scare them!
Hahahaha the Tom Cruise of CZcams 🤣🤣
I'm really excited about the meet up too 😁👍

I think it definitely wouldn't hurt

Ok man, the end of the video answered my question lol. While you're close. Come over to Amarillo, tx and see us!!
This was a fun video. Hope the Hawks stay away. 💕. NonnaGrace
Great video! I definitely hope this method will work for you!

I hate em

I hope this helps you out. Them Hawks can be a pain.

Hello Shane we had a hawk get one of my hens yesterday the first one in 7 years. Watching again. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
We've already started with those hawks. Every spring

Sounds like alot lol
I have everything cds owl decoy and I added 3 guardian geese

Get them Hawk's. They are pest. Windy and calling for rain again in my part of VA again. Mel is looking good. Nice to meet you niece. I hope you and your family have a great day.
Thanks. Started raining here again today for the next 3 days
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia I should just by a boat. Tired of the rain, but it's better than snow. Have a good day

Amen
I need to look into getting some quail. I’ve got to get back on your videos and see that shed build and holding pens. Great hawk tips.
Quail are so easy. You would love them
Are you going to the meet up with Daniel, Sean and Jason?
I hope it works!
Shane...since you have ducks be careful with those crow decoys. Running the hawks off is good but attracting more crows isn't...crows are hell on duck eggs.
Try to get someone to put up a couple of those big windmills for electric. They kill big birds all the time and no one cares.
So the chickens don't mind any of these things? I'd hate to put up something that would be stressing them out or make them want to leave.
Nothing bothers them lol. But the hawks
I've got an extra Burbon Red male but South Texas is not very close.
Lol dang. Would love it especially we are starting to have problems with Mel. Next video lol
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia Mel needs to go to the kitchen. LOL
Lots of heavy discussions after today lol
Neighbor of mine lost some kittens to hawks here in Middle Georgia. They can be a real problem.
They get us every spring. I think it's more the young hawks fresh out of the nest
I HOPE THOSE HELP WITH THE HAWKS.
I hope that the hawks stay away.

those things should slow those hawks down
Let's hope
Did these methods work?

@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia. Hello. We lost our hawk family to baited rats. Rats were taking the eggs. 🕊
you know Shane most people decorate their trees at christmas not march lol and wind winders are for summer...... i really think you have a seasonal disorder lol lmao hugsssss from Ontario Canada
Lol yep
U don’t know what wind is, ur flag isn’t straight out, branches barely moving
I hate hawks. I keep my chickens up right now. Helps my LGD is in the same area as the chickens. Wish we could go to Oklahoma and meet everyone.
I wish yall could go to
@@KinfolkFarmofGeorgia just too far lol WV to OK is a trip
Best way is a shotgun we've got several around here
One thing about it there persistent little boogers
Were going to meet up to theres several i would like to meet
Awesome
