How to get rid of ravens

[wolfrosie]

Have you ever heard of the story of the little girl who was feeding crows, and then her crows started giving her gifts every day? Things like lost earring pieces. So cute~
Some of my chickens like to lay in the manure pile so if I wasn't already giving those to my dog I would cook them up for the birds, maybe even with the occasional stick of bacon. lol, I spoil my pets.

I figured they would eat baby chicks! show what I know lmao. now with this new revelation, What could I do to keep "my" ravens happy?

I would still be careful with baby chicks around the Ravens. They might take babies, not so much pullets. Generally however they leave adult flocks alone.

I feed my Ravens dry dog food. It is actually good for them and is what Ravens in captivity/rehabilitation facilities get fed.

I'd be careful about feeding them, you don't want them to start investigating closer and maybe try to get inside the coop for the chicken food.

what is "tape" you're suggesting? I lose approx 4 eggs a week from bluejay --I just bought air pistol but not sure it's going to be too effective since I'm not always up there w/hens. When I'm gardening I see him but today just figured out how to work pistol and he's gone.
HELP!!

I feed the local crows when they've chased off a hawk. Today I got one that started making the "there's a hawk" noise to see if I would feed it without there being a hawk around. They're learning to announce loudly when they see a hawk. When the chickens hear that call, they take cover.
