Great Horned Owl Decoy — Scare Predators from the Coop
Keep your flock safer with a lifelike owl decoy that helps scare off hawks, crows, rats, and sneaky nighttime visitors around the coop and run. Animals know owls are top hunters, so many will avoid the area when they “see” one watching.
Why you’ll like it
-
Realistic look: bold eyes and feather detail for a strong visual scare.
-
Weather-ready: durable, UV-resistant body for year-round use.
-
Easy setup: place on a roof peak, fence post, or tree limb; the hollow base can be filled with sand/gravel or screwed down so it won’t tip.
How to use
-
Put the owl above eye level facing the coop/run.
-
Move it every few days and change the height so pests don’t get used to it.
-
For extra power, pair with motion lights, clean feed storage, and good coop-proofing (½" hardware cloth, apron/skirt).
Good to know: Decoys are a deterrent, not a guarantee. Use them with solid coop security and lock birds up at night for the best protection.
