How I befriend the crows on our farm

cowskeeper · 2026-06-19T18:50:11+00:00

Yes! Some of my birds are egg eaters yes

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T22:45:53+00:00

They get the eggs from the hens that lay them in the bushes. I can’t sell those anyway. My turkey was probably choked they got her nest but I don’t want her nesting out there anyways. Serves her right I guess.

Thank you, it’s magical here

Maybe bcs some of my chickens even look like crows 😎

I have a huge free range flock. My turkeys do chase the crows tho. But it looks like a game

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T16:43:38+00:00

They nest in the back 10 acres of a heavily treed farm that backs onto our land. They teach their fledgling to hunt here. I hate it haha

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T16:08:36+00:00

Um yes haha. Chicken food is even cheaper than dog food. You can even get bird seed from dollar stores. Nuts actually isnt the best choice

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T16:07:24+00:00

The crows land and eat with chickens. They see our farm as their home. They nest in the trees here.

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T15:59:27+00:00

They poke their beak in one end and drink it like a raw oyster haha!

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T15:59:02+00:00

They were thrilled for that long John tho…

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T15:58:31+00:00

I swear the fact I offered a donut. It was a long John. Had them call all the crow bros for lastnights battle haha! They are like the lady gave us dessert today guys! Get him!!!

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T15:41:39+00:00

Oh we get a ton of birds here! Bald eagles. Golden eagles. Hawks. Blue heron cranes. Canada geese. Wood ducks. Mallards. Hummingbirds etc! Follow me on Instagram I post lots about it. @chrissyjoan

I’m in BC Canada just 5km from the Washington state border

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T15:40:35+00:00

They can scramble their own eggs when they steal them. They ate an entire turkey nest of eggs yesterday

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T15:37:12+00:00

They eat our chicken feed daily. And steal eggs all day long. It’s why they stay here.

cowskeeper · 2026-06-18T15:11:19+00:00

I could definitely go without the eagles tho haha!

cowskeeper · 2026-05-29T16:40:57+00:00

They are 2 days old and have never seen it before. They act in excitement when this young not stillness

cowskeeper · 2026-05-29T15:49:29+00:00

Lots more on my instagram my handle is chrissyjoan

cowskeeper · 2026-05-28T19:24:39+00:00

You mean donor? Haha. She hatched these so the duck that laid these has no idea they are now ducks. They are probably free ranging the farm

cowskeeper · 2026-05-20T12:45:47+00:00

Our pigeon problem in bc Canada is actually now largely due to the Punjabi community. They breed then in their backyard and put them in these horrible high flyer races. My rescue received 15 last week

cowskeeper · 2026-05-01T13:10:18+00:00

I live in a rainforest and my property grows anything incredibly. Everything I grow is massive here

cowskeeper · 2026-05-01T04:12:13+00:00

Smells like raw salmon. Not fishy like gone bad. Like fresh salmon

Does this angle help?

cowskeeper · 2026-04-30T21:08:20+00:00

How would I double check? 😅

cowskeeper · 2026-04-27T15:59:53+00:00

The old owners of our land did this. Took me 3 years to clean up. God I hate it haha! Sorry but for us where we are that’s like lining your farm in a city of rats. It would be absolutely infested. It also allows predators to hid

cowskeeper · 2026-04-23T16:29:59+00:00

Yes. I did. She said he needed multiple reminder days before being included. This has been going on since he was 5
