Spilled Eggs

Fortunately I seem to have the crow/raven problem in hand.  They were definitely getting in to the eggs in the hay loft, not the nest boxes (thank goodness!).  By disrupting the nests in the loft I’ve been able to keep the rogue eggs to a minimum.  There is one silly Black Sex-Link hen that gets moody when the nesting boxes are full and still goes up there to lay occasionally.  I’ve found two broken eggs in the last week or two with the contents slurped out, but the other few I’ve managed to get to before the crows.  I’ve also seen far less crow activity around the barn in general which seems like a good thing.

Despite seeing a coyote twice in a short period of time I haven’t had any problems.  I think the goats sharing space with the chickens actually works well as a deterrent.

So all is good on the farm front!
