    I’ve not seen any birds in the yards. I’d give it a try. But, we know crows are a whole different beast! I have a lot of crows myself.

    I ordered them off Amazon, along with the shorter shepherds hooks. They weren’t too expensive. They came four in a pack. I just stuck them every 4/5 feet.

    Moms a step

    This afternoon I watched a wonderful sight. The only chick born to one of my broodies, couldn’t jump from the coop to the steep below. It was too high.

    Flock with no rooster

    Sussex are huge. That was part of my problem. But, my husband will help me. He’ll catch and I’ll hold him down. He’s a BIG boy, so I’ll definitely cover up.

    Flock with no rooster

    He’s a big boy! I’m not that big, but that sounds much better. I’ve always known I had to do something like that to him… I just wanted a few chicks. But, having someone go broody is the key. I’m not set up to incubate right now. haha😆
