I know they're not protecting the chickens. We have/had a crow's nest in the yard. They're protecting that, but I'll take advantage of them as much as I can.

I wouldn't trust them around eggs or baby chicks either.

x2 Also they're not 100% effective, but they help ALOT especially if you freerange your birds.
My crows alerted me to an attack on my birds by a bald eagle. Thanks to them, I was able to save my little red hen. I only let the girls out when I'm home now, and I keep my ears open. I hope they build a nest in the walnut tree again this year.
