any thoughts on how to get rid of them never had so many its like the movie the birds lol any help would be appreciated
Someone has plans for a feeder that keeps birds out. If they don't find food, they won't stay around long. Birds carry bugs and diseases that your chickens don't want or need.
Google: Repeating Sparrow Traps Treadle Feeders You can train your chooks to go thru pop door cover made of strips of clear plastic that the smaller birds can't get thru. If your coop is attached to a run, you can cover the run with bird netting. Your location and coop/run configuration would help folks make suggestions.
I have trouble with cardinals~and like you, it's like the movie BIRDS. First the baby goats were going in the door, fixed it, and now the birds! I like the post about the plastic strips on the door. I am going to try it.
I've never had large numbers of birds in the coop, but one time I had a sparrow, and I spent 10 minutes chasing it around until I finally got it out the main door. I was very pleased to have freed the little bird. It flew about 30 feet from the coop, and was about 5 feet off the ground when one of my barn cats jumped up and snagged it right out of the air. I guess it wasn't that birds day!
