Problem with Ravens

[Mntfowl]

How do I prevent Ravens from stealing the eggs? I have 65 birds & I lost a lot of eggs the past few days. Put up fishing line & it did not help. They even took the seramic eggs.

I do have ravens here. I never had one go in my coop to steal eggs ! where do they lay eggs? you can put netting over the pens might help.

Can you describe your setup for us? Maybe we can help better that way. Where do your hens lay their eggs? How big is the pop door that chickens use to access the egg laying areas? How are ravens getting in?

Ravens are very, very intelligent and some of the common deterrents for hawks simply won't work on them.

I have 2 enclosed coops. I have caught the Ravens with the ceramic eggs from the next boxes.

Well the coops are enclosed & we have over 100 birds. The turkey seems to be protective of the hens but now I am facing a pecking problem.

good luck with the ravens, luckily we don't have any around here
