    Crows stealing eggs

    Crows have been entering my chicken coop and stealing eggs. For the past couple of days I noticed my eggs were missing I thought my chickens weren’t producing. Does this at all effect egg production (stressing the chickens) and how can I prevent crows from entering my coop without blocking an...

    Are crows a threat to my chickens?

    Recently I've seen a crow near my chicken coop. I have found crow feathers in the run. Today a crow was on the other side of the run fighting with my silkie hen through the fence. Then it decided to fly inside the run and walk around. At that point it heard me knocking on the window and flew...

    Crows eating my duck's eggs...

    My 21 (12 females, 9 drakes) ducks are semi free ranged in a 27ft x 50ft fenced area which is our garden and often lay eggs wherever (a few will use their coop). We totally free range when home during the day. Often we have crows in the yard but never bothered anything or went into the fenced...

    Is this a good idea?

    I have a dilemma... over the last month, ground squirrels have been getting into the coop, eating the feed, and eating/stealing the eggs. I fortified the coop, sprayed pepper powder/paste in and around the coop, and mixed it into their food. I collect the eggs often. Because we let the chickens...

    Bird Watcher Chat!

    Hi everyone! I wanted to make this chat so that birders can talk about Wild birds. I also included a poll asking what your favorite corvid is. I live in Upstate NY, so the birds I mentioned may be different where you are, in that case just add a comment of what bird it is, and where it is found...

    Button Quail bedding and indoor home set up.

    Hey there, I just have a couple questions about my wee quails. The first question is about the bedding. When I got my first one, I had no idea what to do with her. She was a petland reject that had brain damage so they just gave her to me. The store had no idea how to care for quails and they...

    Oh dear, what is THIS?????

    I faithfully refresh the birdbath under our oaks when I clean the chicken coop every morning. Lately, the birdbath has had all manner of weird stuff in it - shells from peanuts, turquoise-colored stones that look like they came from an aquarium. Today I found burger wrappers and plastic in it...

    Are crows bad?

    Around my house there are lots of crows, flying in groups or alone, making loud noises. The chickens don’t like them and once when a group of crows flew by I found all my chickens in corner of the coop. When they are free ranging and a crow pirches on a telephone wire, the rooster warns them...
