wondering if anyone out there has any advice!
we have 6 beautiful hens and we have been getting plenty of eggs daily but we discovered yesterday we have a thief - a v v v large seagull - it marches straight into the chicken house and takes the eggs.
the hens seem to just run away!
today i must have startled it as dropped 2 eggs but they were broken and the hens then started eating them.
we are getting 2 re homing hens this week as well so we need someway of solving this.
we can't cover our chicken coop as it is too big.
we can't collect eggs as soon as they are laid as we are out at work
any ideas what we do?
many thanks
