Ravens can kill Ducks...Crows tease as do Magpies..

I have seen on here about Magpies killing goslings and ducklings. @Iain Utah had a Magpie kill a gosling.

We have loads of crows and ravens, so far they haven't bothered the chickens or ducks, however they can be aggressive and the chickens all run and hide if one flies overhead. I'm not sure if they would attack, but I certainly don't trust them either. I'm curious to hear others' experiences.

When I was a kid, I saw a crow swooping at mumma duck and her ducklings, once. Not sure if he was teasing or actually going for it, but a fuss was made. The unfortunate animal picked a time when we were practicing with pellet guns, so we never found out what his real intentions were.

My friends experience...Ravens came and Killed 5 rescue Runner Ducks in her pen..She ran out in her PJs and saved the remaining Ducks..She covered the Run and no longer takes in Ducks..

Here is an interesting way to get rid of Them!

I have so many crows around here you wouldn't believe it, but they will eat and forage with my flock. And I haven't had a problem with them in the 5 years that I have been keeping chickens. They'll hang out with roosters, hens, pullets, cockerels, etc.

Some chicken keepers say that crows might give your poultry parasites, they have never done so with my chickens. But my chickens also have soo many places to dust bathe And they always take at least 2 or 3 good dust baths a week.
