I found her nest. Not where I though it was. She in the fern patch.

They sure can hide them well.

Sjturner....Thank you for the photos of Bubbles and her hide away nest...how precious all those eggs!

Fancy ... love your BBS silkies... I want some of those too and Wyandottes..sadly not enough room!

Teila well done re working from home (more Chook time!) and your husband's new job sounds positive...

Crows!!!! Could they hurt my young bantams???

 

[Teila]

Fancy Your BBS Silkies are beautiful!

Good to see you again LuckysMum

Susan If you have not figured it out already, I hate Crows!

Anyways, I definitely do not trust them with chicks and juvenile bantams .. having seen one of the evil black &*^%’s pin down a Turtle Dove and try and eat him alive, I would not put it past them to try the same on a small chicken.

Oh my giddy aunt!!!

I have always hated them too as we have trouble with them killing the local wild ducklings!!! I will certainly take your advice... thank you

Teila....What an entertaining read! I am in hospital at the moment needed a good laugh ....even though it hurts to do so!!! I'll be watching for crows !!! We did have them ...only 6 but they have gone know since we covet the chicken run!
Aside from that and your story I have a very close has had two separate incidents where crows announced the death of family members...so I am definitely a 'crow hater' ...

My Light Sussex chicks are 5 1/2 weeks old now (they hatched on New Year's Day). This morning I think I heard one trying to crow - you know that try out my vocal chords for the first time sound. Surely they are too young to start crowing yet, aren't they?

Never too young to start practising.
