We have lived in harmony with crows and their nests for years and they have never posed a threat to my adult hens as they free ranged.
Yesterday however, I answered two "predator calls" from the hens and found a large raven standing near them as they huddled in the bushes. There were only two hens out at the time. They are large breed.
I know both crows and ravens will take a chick, but will they harass or injure adult hens? I am more concerned with the ravens just because of their size.
