Blue Jays

[brooster]

My grandma said that a blue jay once killed a buch of baby chicks. But they were very young.

We have bluejays at our house. They have never bothered our chicks.

Blue jays do have a nasty side. They will roll nestlings of other species out of a songbird's nest and lay their own eggs in the nest. There are a few kinds of birds that do that. I'm not sure they would go so far as to kill chicks a lot of the time...still, I would have caution.

We have not had any problems with blue jays. they are obnoxious, threatening and bullying but I do not think they will hurt the chickens.

We have quite a few bluejays that hang out around our house. They dont bother the birds, but make some of the ugliest noises.
