Mine were out yesterday with all the birds - crows (or ravens LOL), robins, the wild bunnies came out at the edge of the property. It was quite the scene.That is a relief!
I'm pretty sure mine is a raven rather than a crow. Fantail instead of wedge tail, and a more throaty low call instead of the higher pitched "caw caw" of a crow. Also my black bird is HUGE.
Either way, I'm happy that both of us have a black bird that chases hawks away, and I am so glad to know they don't bother the chickens. Thank you!
My BR's have been in with my two orp ladies and everyone is getting along which is a huge relief! No bickering at all. They're actually sticking together while they're out in the yard too. The first day the BR's were keeping to themselves while mine kept their distance. Although mine have developed this morning ritual of running immediately to the front yard to check what's fallen from the bird feeder. They stay out there all morning and then head back to the rear of the property. The BRs have only ventured once or twice to the front yard that I've seen. I'm just happy they seem so comfortable here. They came from a larger flock that also had a couple of roosters. You can tell one took quite the beating from the Roos she must have had because she's got a ton of new feathers growing in on her neck and back. She must be liking the calmness here.
