I Have Pests! (Caw Caw)

[seminolewind]

These crows must take about 6 eggs a day. Right out of my coop. I've tried hanging netting, bags, moving the nests, I just don't know what to try next. The first time I moved the nest I got 5 nice brown eggs. Now, nothing day after day. What do I do?

Are you sure the crows are attacking anymore? Perhaps the hens have just gone off the lay after all the commotion.

Perhaps try netting your whole run making sure not crow can get in, or you could add a scarecrow?!?

I will try the scarecrow, good idea!

I put the scarecrow up . We'll see!

Also, I have heard if you put the radio with a scare crow (imitates a person) this will deter foxes, perhaps it will work with crows as well.

Okay, my next step will be a radio, LOL

How is the scarecrow going???

I don't know if it's working. I see the girls sit in the nests, later, there's nothing there. I'll try the radio.

Are you sure your hens are laying? Maybe egg bound?
