Finally I am Getting Eggs in my Chicken Coop

Well it’s taken a long time but finally I’ve got rid of the crows. I had to do all sorts of things to the chicken coop to make it happen but finally it’s happened.

And I don’t even think it was me that did it. I think the crows went away or on their own.

I made all sorts of changes to how to chickens needed to get into the coop. I put up a wire entry run and they had to creep through the run to get into the chicken coop. And the chickens didn’t like that, so it took a little while to train them to use the run into the coop.

And I had a 2nd small chicken house as well which was movable so I move that through the front of the chicken run so that the chickens had to go into the small chicken coop, through the chicken run to get into the main house.

And I put large drums all around so they had to walk between the drums to get to the small chicken house.

It worked, but I suspect only because the crows moved on because I haven’t seen one for ages. They probably left all by themselves.

Either way I’m getting eggs again. It’s taken me almost a year to overcome the problem but now my chickens are laying eggs and we get to have omelettes all over again whenever we want them. (more…)
