Our girls get to free range in our backyard every day. There is always a person/guard out in the yard with them (their run is covered). We don't have a dog or rooster. Yesterday on of our more independent girls who tends to wander was in a different area of the yard and a hawk (possibly cooper/red tail) swooped down but thankfully missed her. My son who was out with them said he thinks he may have been standing where the hawk couldn't see him. We shooed everyone in for the day, but the next day there was a low flying hawk over our yard again (there were multiple people in the yard) and no attack attempt was made.
What should I do now? It's not possible to put up netting or wire in our yard. Is it safe for them to be out as long as someone is out with them (we can make an effort to be sure we are more visible). Are there effective deterrents we can use (I've read wind chimes, cd's, scare crows...). Do any work?
Thanks.
