Wild birds getting my eggs

[kristy2122]

So occasionally my girl will lay in our scrub oak bushes and I've found 3 eggs in the last 2 weeks pecked by the Jays and mockingbirds we have that wander around that area.

Any ideas to keep birds out of that area? She lays at weird times of day so I can't keep her penned up all day.

What about putting chicken wire around those bushes and just leaving an opening at the bottom, where the birds might be less likely to notice? For that matter, you could surround the bushes with chicken wire completely so the ducks will be forced to find a better place to lay.
