So just now I went out to water/feed my chickens.
My chickens are kept in a 22ftx22ft run and have limited supervised outings because of neighborhood dogs. (I witnessed a dog jump on my rooster and grab him by the neck.. oh heck no!!!!)
Anyway, I was out there la la la when all of a sudden, CROWS COME OUT OF NOWHERE!
They are totally dive bombing me! I'm actually freaking out and I run and hide in our porch and watch these crows.
They weren't after me at all... they were after a pair of (beautiful) red tailed hawks that had been perched on top of my chicken coop.
It got me thinking, those crows are pretty much protecting my chickens simply by protecting their nests.
How can I thank the crows? I hear about some people who feed them. What do you feed a crow?
I want to make sure they stay around!
