crows stealing eggs

OMG, that is amazing. hmmm maybe tie some pie pans in the doorway to the coop???

 

There is a very cool gas powered pistal pellit gun at Wal-Mart. 25.00 or so you will have to sit close to the coop the gas powered gun will not kill them but will really sting! Unless you hit them in the eye. (OOps!) Ok after several days of stinging them when they land and try walking into the coop. they will be looking for you. Think scare crow. build yourself in the chair and maybe once a week you will have to sit there for a couple of hours. They are smart but still a pea brained bird. I had to keep them out of my pond stream because of the poop thing when they bathed in the stream. I didn't want them to go away altogether because they do keep away raptors and herons. But you can condition them not to do something. But the eggs maybe more of a draw than a bath.......may take more negative inforcement.

 

Yep crows will def. make off with egg's if they can.I have never had any go anywhere near my coop's though.I had to throw out some duck and chicken egg's a couple week's ago.I just chucked them across creek.I could see the crow's carrying off a few of them.They usualy opt for easy pickings like left over feed etc.I had a lot around when I had my ducks and they would forage for the left over bit's of corn.Not sure how you would keep them out of nest area though if it is enclosed.Maybe a lot of other people had issue's with them stealing egg's in nest. Good Luck
