In April we had a serious problem with crows or magpies stealing eggs from one of the hen houses. So out of desperation and a desire not to put a net over the whole run (33m x 16m) I decided to recycle some old clothes. As a friend said “that’s really scary but not the best scarecrow I’ve seen.” Sadly the crows agreed with her and I then resorted to using a radio tuned to BBC radio 4.  That stopped their thieving activities!
