I would like to thank everyone who got behind resolving the raven egg negotiation. Several of you replied with suggestions. Dorle gave me the original idea about the mirrors, Paul had a big one he could give me, Tara and Tsvete gave me auto mirrors, Christine gave me a bunch of cd’s to hang… Ansley took the pictures. The community responded to the raven to kindly keep away from the chickens!
Thank you!

Does anyone have a mirror that’s not made of glass that they could donate/loan for an experiment?
Since the chickens have gone outside in their summer wagon home, I’ve had to contend with ravens stealing eggs (this picture is off the internet). If I do nothing they will steal every single egg the chickens lay. If I’m able to chase them off I get all the eggs, but if I’m busy doing other things they keep coming back no matter what obstacle I place. They are very smart. So I’m a bit short on eggs for the spring shares today.
It was suggested to place mirrors around to deter them…
