Ditto. I haven't had any problem with crows trying to get in my coops (where I keep my feeders). My hens lay their eggs in the coops, so if the crows aren't going in there.... I think my roosters, who allow the crows around but don't totally trust them, would be more than willing to...

Yep, my chickens know exactly what the crows are talking about. Most of the time the crows are ignored, but let them yell hawk and you won't find a single chicken out of hiding.
"Our" crows disappear from time to time. The one predator loss - hawk - I've had so far happened when the crows hadn't been around for awhile.
A few days later the crows were back and you could actually see my flocks visibly relax.
I feed the crows. They're going to be around anyhow, stealing feed if I didn't offer them their own.
I've seen them attack a golden eagle.
The crows are friend in my book.
