I have a nice garden and an allotment where I grow vegetables. At the bottom of our garden we keep chicken.

Use A Homemade Repellent To Deter Rabbits Away From The Garden
Mix 2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, and a squirt of dish detergent with 20 ounces of warm water. Shake the mixture well to incorporate. Let it sit outside in the sun for a day, then put into a sprayer and apply to plant leaves. This homemade rabbit repellent will have rabbits running the other way. The mixture will need to be reapplied after rain or heavy watering

To keep squirrels away from or keep them from eating your garden plants, mix this:

1 gallon of water
6 capfuls of Murphy's Oil Soap
2 Tbsp. of cayenne pepper
Spray onto plants. This does not harm the plants and will keep the squirrels away

Will be trying these recipe's this year !!!
