About Gold Shaw Farm: Gold Shaw Farm is more of a farm-in-progress than an honest-to-goodness farm. We dream that someday we can transform our 150+ acre parcel of land into a regenerative and productive homestead and farm.

Crows are like gang members, they stick together and remember when you wrong them for a long time.

[@deed5811]

They also remember if you help them.

[@IbelongtoJesus.]

Maybe they could meet Mr. shotgun

[@fredfrond6148]

@@IbelongtoJesus. firstly would Jesus meet them with a shotgun if they were only stealing eggs to survive? Secondly the gang members that you did not get would spread the word and seek payback.

[@Fiona2254]

Yep. Better to friend them than to harm one and have the murder consider you an enemy. I have been trying to friend the local murder of crows by feeding them peanuts. Then they consider you friendly and become helpers who harass your enemies.

[@AngieJames4172]

They also aide in keeping Hawks away as well. Best to befriend them. I've seen a lady cheese off a crow before where I worked and she paid for it. Every time she would come outside and the crow was there, it would harass her and no one else. I had warned her but she didn't listen 😅

I've seen crows not only go after bird eggs, but they go after newly hatched chicks, even ducklings.

[@Nphen]

That could have been how some of the ducklings were lost during the flood. That pasture is just too far away from protected areas.

[@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming]

I see crows pick off ducklings at our pond every year. They took more ducklings than the Pike in the water. No dog will be able to cover the area from them.

[@Frombie_01]

Crows will cause havoc with new lambs. They will pick out the eyes and anus while the lamb is alive.

[@nicholaslee722]

The ex-duckhouse really looks like an excellent nursery. Weather-proof, decent insulation, proper protection from predators and even enough space to house a few brooding birds and their potential offspring (with space for the little ones to run around!). I think this little shack ranks one of the top among your projects.

[@Nphen]

Yeah I would definitely say just build something smaller & more simple for the dogs' winter home and keep that structure as a second brooder. Especially because now he needs an extra flock of birds whose eggs are sacrificed to distract the crows and keep them at bay.

[@wendyweaver8749]

@nicholaslee722 - Shame the mother duck and her ducklings were not cloistered in the duck house before the severe rainstorm.

[@BionicleFreek99]

Suggestion: negotiate with the crows. Crows are incredibly smart and good at remembering faces, it's likely that if you find an alternate way to feed them and put up something to keep them away from areas you don't want them at that they'll leave you alone.

[@petarzvonimirgolubic4881]

My first thought was a weasel or mink stealing the duck eggs. But I am sure it could be a bird. It was just what popped into my head. They wouldn't have a problem getting through the fence.

[@katie4799]

I thought the same thing!

[@shadowjewel]

I thought that too initially but then remembered that they also go after the birds, even if the bird is many times their size (they go for the back of the neck). So if it were them there would be dead birds too.

[@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming]

They would be up and over the fence before you can blink. Mink will wipe out the chickens if not stopped.

[@Annie_Annie__]

Yeah, I thought it was weasels and that they might be going under the fence. I thought that any of the three species of weasels, stoats, or minks could be the culprit.

[@babygoatsmum4122]

I love corvids. They are very clever, have good memories but hold a grudge. Hi from Australia

[@sdtyler40]

How about setting up bird perches in random areas of the farm and feeding the crows. Crows can be trained to protect the duck and geese from other predators. Some times fighting off the predator like a hawk or a weasel. Sometimes alerting you if the predator is too big like a bear ( maybe even alerting you to uninvited people coming on to your property). They can be trained not to eat the eggs. Crows remember and they "speak" to other crows and will run off other "threats". Need more eyes to watch the farm, you have that in crows. Plus its s using nature which you can't beat

[@sebbes333]

Problem with that, a murder of crows eat a LOT of food. My dad feeds birds, and had to build a special little house with large chicken-net around, so the small birds can get in, but not the bigger birds. Because he simply couldn't afford to buy that much seeds & food for the birds.

[@awilliams5999]

Kitchen and garden scraps are great to feed them too. If you’re not feeding it to your other animals or composting.

[@play2die]

karmen says this is an idiotic advice

[@sdtyler40]

Since Morgan is already getting "used oats and grain " to feed the pigs, I bet he can find a locate grocery or restaurant to get food scraps

[@eric2500]

[@deborahhinnenkamp2226]

We live in a wooded area, and quite often a whole group of crows would gather here and start calling out to each other. All this yacking was very noisy indeed. When this happened, we would say that we’re having a crow jamboree out back! Lol

[@debrafisher7373]

Crows are smart. The next time you see them, make an offering of food where they can see you put it down for them. They may even start leaving you 'gifts' in return lol

[@joyful_tanya]

Yes, if you feed them, they will leave stuff alone. Takis Shelter in Crete had an issue with crows/ravens eating the dog food and the dogs were killing them. To keep them alive he feeds the crows on the edge of his shelter property. ❤

[@sebbes333]

It will also attract more crows, and he needs to buy more food, and it spirals out of control. The crows will eat more food than his actual birds, within a short while.

[@OfficialAgentGaming]

From my experience you don't really want to mess with crows/ravens. They can hold a grudge if you wrong them so I would say try and give them something else and hopefully teach them that if they touch your eggs they don't get a reward.

[@IbelongtoJesus.]

Or bring out Mr shot gun.,,, unless there's a way to trap them and relocate them

[@Dr_V]

If you shoot down a few and hang them on top of the fence posts they won't come back for a good while. Feeding them something else will only help them multiply and get even more confident.

For your crow problem, put up more owls. Crows and owls are mortal enemies, so it might deter the crows from coming around. Or, ya know, a classic scarecrow lol

[@claytonberg721]

I was gonna say owls as well.

[@Zappyguy111]

Do you reckon setting up nesting boxes to attract owls might be helpful?

[@Sporting1210]

@@Zappyguy111 depends on the type of owl in the area. Also dont underestimate crows: they are known to block the entrance of the owls nesting space with rabble to either starve out the chicks or even the nesting parent owl inside. Best way to deal with this is either to go full ham crow-warfare, which is something i wouldnt expect Morgan to do nor would i promote it, OR try to "make a deal" with them aka start leaving food for them at certain areas. On the other hand, there are probably some sophisticated apparatuses to shoo away crows on a long term (scarecrow wont work-they are way to inquisitive and learn rather quickly, whether something is a real threat or not)

[@harpintn]

@@claytonberg721 I have seen birds build a nest on the head of a plastic owl. They don't work for more than a few hours.

[@windyface9383]

Maybe make friends with a local falconer who can bring a hawk once in a while to scare off the crows? But you'd have to make sure said hawk doesn't go after the ducks...

[@corringhamdepot4434]

Here in the UK I regularly find chicken eggs buried in soft ground and large plant pots by our urban foxes. They are so well fed around here, that they often bury surplus food for later. I have never found a broken eaten egg. I stopped leaving out dog treats for them, because they were just burying the treats around the garden. Our foxes will also easily jump up and scramble over a 6 foot solid fence.

[@kimberlym5988]

You might have to put up mobile coops or large mobile enclosures with a mesh on top. Just make sure the mesh isn't large enough to poke a finger through. That'll make it safe for wild-life and your birds. That way, you can collect the eggs, you can move the enclosures to new areas and the birds are still fairly free-range but safe.

[@barbarahouk1983]

This is why I suggested netting as tenting material. It could be fine metal mesh screens. It has to be light weight, easy to set up & take down and a large sq footage. He has to have 2 of them. One in use and then set up the second one to move the birds into for their next temporary paddock. Then he takes down the 1st one only to reassemble went ready to move the birds again. Crows prevented from entry. But also keep Crows by some kind of feed for them around the farm as anti predators

[@kimberlym5988]

@@barbarahouk1983 Just make sure it's good tenting material. From other channels I learned that if it's large enough to poke your finger through, it's death to animals of all sorts including his birds. So he would still has to be careful on the materials he uses. If he goes that route.

[@jadeinthewoods]

Rosie is a bad ass momma! She’s like, stay away from my babies!❤️

[@piplupcola]

Honestly I think the best solution is just making a place that encourages the ducks to lay closer to the main farm area. I think the big issue is that cos the ducks are free range you won't be able to find the eggs in time before the crows do, it'll make things easier as the farmer to collect them too.

[@danelllawrenece1954]

For the anti duck thief problem. I’d recommend more owl decorations, owls and crows are Nautral rivals from any country the two cross. Crows try to avoid owls and vice versa and rarely prowl the same area

[@momcomputer6461]

Morgan, The farmers of yesteryear, in order to keep crows from certain areas, such as corn fields, would shoot a crow and tie it to the top of a high pole in that area. Somehow the crows understood not to visit the area. I've always heard that worked like a charm. Obviously it worked well or they wouldn't all do it. Although I don't think that's the kind of solution you had in mind, you might want to try it, especially if you want to sell or hatch duck eggs in the future. It might make a good video, also. Good luck!

Oh crud! I was thinking as the video progressed that your culprit was a weasel. Honestly, I'm not sure what you can do to stop crows other than have the dogs in with the ducks and geese all the time. Crows are incredibly intelligent, on par with your pigs, so they xan usually figure a way around most problems. I look forward to ideas from others

[@roemervankuilenburg5088]

That transition to the molly cam was very nice. Even though it felt very forced you still made it fit perfectly. Also keeping the molly music with the first shot of the pigs felt really natural and was just right. That was some true videography you showed of there.

[@permiebird937]

I keep a flock of 20 ducks, and my local crows love to eat the eggs. What I do to keep crow egg theft at a minimum. I put my ducks in housing overnight, so most of the ducks lay in the coop. Repairing your chicken tractors maybe? All the early eggs will be safe and easy to collect when you let the ducks out. When I first let the ducks out, I have a modest sized pen that I keep the ducks in until about 10am, where they get their morning feed, but only have a limited range so its easy to find any eggs layed before 10am. After that they free range all day, and are put back in their coop at dusk until morning. Eggs later after 10am I just let the crows have. I find crows are useful wildlife, but they need a bit of management. Reducing opportunities for crows to access the eggs early, reduces egg loss. Protect young poultry from crows, because they will steal ducklings, chicks, and young goslings. Even with those manageable draw backs, crows will keep your poultry safe from above. Crows mob hawks and eagles, driving them away from your poultry.

[@EvilGshot]

My grandfather had a problem with crows and birds in his garden. He put silver aluminum pie pans on a string and attached them to a tall stick in the ground. They flopped around in the wind and the birds never came back. I thought that would never work but it did.

[@CoyleyJ]

Super looking forward to seeing your solution to the crow problem. I live in suburban Melbourne Australia, we have two ducks in our back yard and the Ravens steal their eggs regularly. Part of the problem is that the girls just lay them anywhere in the yard, rather than in a hidden nest and even when we lock them in each night. They wait till they are let our to lay. Highly annoying!

[@wandagrayson646]

You have the added problem of not pissing then off because they are notoriously petty! 😂😂

Good Length. Good Mix. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Can’t wait for an update on the crows: they are probably worth a whole series of videos? Maybe interview an expert? Do some research / traveling to see what others are doing? Try stuff out yourself. - It probably won’t be cheap or easy, but you might get half a dozen extra videos in a playlist by the time you figured something out. I would guess, that the solution either has to be super smart (outfoxing or rather winning over the crows), or super dumb (- so that even the ducks get it). Any middle of the road approach probably won’t work. Can you train the ducks to lay in safe places? Or is that harder than training the crows to stay away? - How much money and time is it worth investing? What are your losses? How long until a solution will pay off? Being friends (or dedicated enemy) with the crows probably costs more than the eggs are worth for quite a while… - what an interesting problem.

[@s44577]

We have crows! SO MANY CROWS. What crows don't like is seeing other dead crows. We bought three life sized crow "decoys" off Amazon, put them in several places around the farm. What happened next was pretty interesting...one crow spied the "dead" crow on the ground, hovered over it as if it were examining it and left. Soon a murder of crows appeared did the same thing. They then took off. They didn't come back for quite a while. When they did reappear, we just set out the "dead" crows again. We named our "dead" crows, Russell Crow. "Honey, we need to get Russell Crow out of the closet! Crows are back!" This really works to keep crows away.

[@sakarikokotala9160]

You can get any bird to stop eating eggs by filling some with cayenne pepper. Make a small hole in an egg ( I use older eggs that I can not sell or hatch out) and scrambled the insides. At the other side I make another small hole and blow out the contents of the egg. Then I use Elmer's glue because it is kids safe so it should be non-toxic to birds. I let that dry. I make a big batch of these for laying and hatching season every year. After that drys, I take a small funnel and full the egg shells with cayenne pepper and hot sauce. Then I glue the small pieces that I took off earlier back to seal the hole. I watch where my birds lay the eggs. I get out early to collect the good eggs and replace with my special eggs. I do try to get them to weight around a normal egg. It's worked on all types of wildlife that are egg thieves, and it has not harmed them.They learn that my birds lay crappy eggs and they stay away from them. It takes about 30 days, just because some animals are really stupid. But it does work.

I have a dozen magpies that learned that the tiny chicken door into my barn opens in the morning and if they enter they find chicken scratch and eggs that they can eat. It's a huge problem because what stops a nagpie stops a chicken, and I don't want to lock in my chickens while I'm at work but if I lock them out they will lay their eggs out and the nagpies will eat them. They've been nagging me all summer... I tried scaring them away, and I tried exterminating a couple to teach the rest but they still return undeterred when they can't see me, only they now fly off at first sight of me.

[@rebeccachristopher4651]

i call the crows 'the lost boys.' i had a dove who laid one egg on my balcony garden. the egg hatched and an adorable baby dove was born. the baby was about 1 week old when i was outside standing near the nest talking to the mommy dove. i sat down and the baby took it's first stumble near the edge of the flower pot it was living in. before i or mommy dove could do anything a crow literally swooped down, grabbed baby dove, took it into a garage, killed it, took it and flew to the top of a telephone pole and proceeded to devour the baby dove. mommy dove sat on the railing and i stood there next to her. i cried and she kept watching and cooing. after about 15-20 mins of us mourning she flew off and i never saw her again. that was in calif. i now live in vancouver, wa near the foothills and i'm surrounded by trees trees and more trees. and we have LOTS of crows or ravens or blackbirds. like i said i call them 'the lost boys'. woe to kittens roaming as i've seen them swoop and snatch one up. they eat seed, grubs and other birds and critters. i named the lost boy who ate our baby dove....keifer.
