Seagulls in the scottish highlands!

[Amelia94]

We have 4 chooks who love their home and when it snowed they stayed in the run ate plenty and theyre super happy hens were getting loads of eggs.

And the seagulls have started to emerge! They get louder every morning and circle the area we live in. We are on the east coast above Inverness. When we moved in there were so many and they would even roam the garden a little bit, they were friendly with the cats mind didnt get too up in their business. The chooks we got about 2 months ago

When we feed the hens at the moment its always in the run but I like to keep the run open for them to roam. Im trying to anticipate problems with the seagulls or ask anyone if they had major problems, what to look out for, itl be difficult to put a massive met over our whole garden which seems super extreme in my opinion.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I dont get a clear picture of your problem and your set up/how you feed the chickens.

What is the problem you want to solve?

• Stealing food you scatter in the run:
• Avian influenza protection?

Can you make a few photos and upload them here?

Maybe there is a possibility to make a feed station in the coop or an attached covered run, the seagulls can’t access?
