Just thought that I would share a sucess story. I was having problems with crows stealing all of my eggs becauce my chickens just roam in a 100' x 60' space. The chickens would go inside the open horse stalls to lay and the crows would land on top of the stall and look in to find the eggs and then steal them. I finally had enough so I went to the Cal Ranch Store and bought a rat trap. I taped a plastic Easter egg to it and put it on top of the horse stall. The first day the crows flew over and saw the trap and just kept on flying. I have not lost an egg since. I really did want to kill the crows but scaring them off is good enough,
