OK, my Aussie friends....I have a question about magpies. (the bird, not the footy team)
We were in our backyard this afternoon, and the chicks were free ranging & loving it. All of a sudden, 4 magpies flew into our yard and perched on the fence posts & trampoline poles surrounding us and the chicks. They looked and sounded intimidating. Their beaks are so long and sharp.
I rounded up the kids and the chickens and brought everyone inside.
Are magpies dangerous to 6 week old chickens? What about older chickens?
