I agree cruel death

I'm guessing its a raven rather than a crow. Those things are wicked smart, and can even open latches. Good luck keeping the balck winged raider out!

Are there some kids walking back and forth, in front of your property? Could be they're

keeping their eyes on your place, just for the fun and excitement to see who can do the "dare".

Golf balls or ping pong balls filled with water. Throw them in the nests

the "dont mess wth my chickens" side of me says put mouse trap n there and keep chicks out till you catch "the big one". This would make for better deer camera photos! lol the nice person in me says. put note or sign that says " if you are really this hungry just ask I will give you some eggs" after all people who keep chickens are usually generous hearted folk which is why the first response came out of me. Times are not that hard ...yet... which is why I keep chickens.

Well even the idea of DH shooting these crows/ravens (?) bothers me, so there will be no antifreeze eggs being put out. I think we will headinto town today and get some bird netting and PVC and cover the run. That should help keep out the little birds that eat my feed too and that would be great! If he does decide to break out the pellet gun I better not be home! If it is kids, I'm pretty sure I know who they would be and they know we are watching.

Just remember that crows (and ravens?) keep hawks away. It's well worth it to have them around.

Well, it would definitely be a lot more humane than anti-freeze would be.

It looks like NoseyChickens is on the road to solving the problem with their proposed run cover which will help in other ways, also.

Phew, I was getting really concerned... now I can't get The Raven out of my head... yeesh!

Glad things worked out... get that run covered and it'll be NEVERMORE for that sneaky Lenore.
