Pesky crow

[Kazzi16]

Hi.
I'm new to the forum.
I have 4 chickens in my back garden. I have had them for 6 yrs now and they are part of my family.
In the last few weeks we have noticed a crow hanging round the garden. At the same time I realised I'm not getting as many eggs. Turns out this pesky crow is going in the coop and stealing the eggs as he/she has been caught by my daughter flying off with one in its beak. Any advice on how to stop it?

Is your Coop in the open? Not inside a run? Would you be able to collect your eggs more often? Bird scarer somewhere near your Coop? Unfortunately once they know they are there they keep coming back.
