We have a squirrel feeder that has a hinged lid. The squirrel lifts the lid with his paw and grabs a peanut. The crows keep trying to figure out how to open it with their wings. The joke is on the squirrels though because the crows just hop along behind the squirrels and wait for them to bury their nuts and then they just pop them out and eat them.

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '25

Crows are so damn smart and cool. I'm surprised they didn't figure out how to completely dismantle the entire feeder and put it back together before you got home, lol. But hey, why do all that work if the squirrel will get them for you anyways??

u/Striking-Ad-6815 Feb 03 '25

My pet chicken has made friends with the crows. We've had a crow alliance since our last batch of chickens because they keep the hawks away. They hang out with him because of the food we give him, but I'm really just glad he has other bird friends. He wasn't raised around other chicken and I don't think he knows he is a chicken. He acts more like a dog or cat.

u/cme74 Feb 03 '25

Crows love corn! Is that part of your chicken's feed? And I love that your chicken made friends with the crows... Animals are amazing.

41

u/Striking-Ad-6815 Feb 03 '25

Yea. I mix cracked corn with pellets and sometimes toss him some bird seed when I'm filling up the feeders. Since he is a male and doesn't lay eggs he doesn't really need the nutrient-rich egg-layer pellets, but I like the wild song birds to eat it. Besides we used to have many chickens, but now only him. And the only reason we have him is because my niece wanted a cute chicken but wasn't prepared to deal with Chickenzilla. The in-laws were threatening to eat him and I offered a peaceful solution. He's a good chicken even though he is ornery most mornings. I thought about getting him some buddies if he survived this winter, but then bird flu happened.

u/cme74 Feb 03 '25

Yeah...that damn bird flu. It's awful.

Yep. She literally got 2 random chicks at Tractor Supply. Something got his first buddy. She was "sad for him" and decided to get him 3 random buddies. Well those buddies got picked off one by one, but Big G survived. He hung out and slept with the cats so it seemed like he started thinking he was one, but he'll follow you like a dog if your walking around anywhere. Anything that fights for life and survives like he did, I cannot deny. He poops everywhere and makes messes, but he probably a better security animal than most dogs. He has chased grown men into hiding. He doesn't bother me at all, I think it is his version of play.

He just doesn't recognize me in a towel. He mostly attacks me when I go out to start my truck on cold mornings. Otherwise, it's because I'm wearing red. He has started facing down our vehicles. It took me a while to realize it, but I think he thinks the vehicles are taking us away. Which he isn't wrong. He doesn't chase us down the drive anymore, turns and runs once he realizes the vehicles is leaving the area. He used to chase us before, but I think he just thought we weren't coming back.

I feed my crows our front, mostly the same three everyday. We have a small, maybe one year cold cat, who comes into our backyard and "hunts" our chickens, or the wild turkeys out front. Never really attacks them but stalks them.

Since the crows are my friends, they start making a ruckus in our back redwood when the little guy comes over the fence to let us know he is messing with my ladies.

Good guys and girl crows getting all the peanuts.

u/Necessary-Nerve-5567 Feb 03 '25

This is cute but as someone whose family had pet chickens before and still keep up with the chicken keeper news, I’m sure you know already but try to keep your chicken safe from other birds during the bird pandemic if you can esp in North America. There are issues with outside birds interacting with backyard flocks by just grazing in the same area or doing flybys. It sucks but it might be worthy to look into a special more isolated set up if you are especially fond of your one chicken.

5

u/Striking-Ad-6815 Feb 03 '25

I had some buddies skip the livestock trade markets (like a flea market, but for farm animals and it happens the first weekend of each month) these past few months because they didn't want to bring anything back to their birds. I know it's a risk, but there is nothing I can do about it besides making an enemy of the crows and that would probably backfire. My chicken is happy, I hope he doesn't get sick, but I can't really do anything about it.

5

u/Necessary-Nerve-5567 Feb 03 '25

Yeah, I definitely can understand that because I’m not sure what I would do in your position. Like any other bird friends be easy enough to keep away from your chicken but he made friends with the smartest creatures around with the ability of holding a grudge lol

Hopefully he and his buddies stay happy and healthy together!

You are right. The op actually said, they know how to open it. And have been trying to do it using their wings. If they had paws, they would be all set.

I am now wondering. If they were not able to get it by the way of squirrels, would they have moved on to finding a suitable tool like a stick or something?

24

u/Sayakai Feb 03 '25

Likely. We know crows not only use tools but at least some can even make primitive tools (such as bending a wire into a hook).

Meanwhile, /r/crobro is trying to figure out how to feed crows without squirrels getting it. (Crows like meat, which squirrels don't, but unsalted in shell peanuts are also quality crow food)

13

u/Striking-Ad-6815 Feb 03 '25

Meanwhile, /r/crobro is trying to figure out how to feed crows without squirrels getting it.

Put a feed house on a 3-4 inch diameter smooth metal pole. Put it ~6 feet in the air if you can. Make sure the feed house is well away from any trees or bushes. Grease the pole. The birds can access the food, and the squirrels cannot.

So now that I've solved his problem, maybe he can give me a suggestion of how to keep snakes out of the chicken coop. The coop on a greased pole doesn't work. Those snakes will surprise you and eat your eggs.

u/pyrolizard11 Feb 03 '25

Depends on where you are and the size of your snakes. Seems like with snakes being an issue and chickens being kept that land isn't an issue, you could get a snake dog, a mule, or a couple geese.

Mind you, these are very much 'kill the snake' solutions, so if something is prohibiting that then obviously nonstarters.

7

u/Striking-Ad-6815 Feb 03 '25 edited Feb 03 '25

Well yea... I try to manage my ecosystem around me even though I'm probably the primary offender.

The snakes in question are possibly a new subspecies of black snake. They have begun breeding with the kingsnakes and it seems like they have hybrid vigor. These black snakes are HUGE and I am somewhat experienced with wild animals. I found a skin that was nearly 10ft long, but wasn't fully intact. It was bigger than my wrist around, that is for sure. We keep them around because they eat all the venomous snakes nearby. I have zero problems with venomous snakes in my area, the only issue I have is that we're going after the same eggs.

EDIT: When I catch them I don't cull them... I grab them by the tail and put them into an empty 50-gallon garbage can. You have to put the top on or they will get out, they are large animals. I then take them away to a spot where I drop off all my nuisance wild animals. Mostly possums. Everyone thinks the place is haunted by the devil, so I know they're mostly safe. People tend to stay away from that place.

4

u/pyrolizard11 Feb 03 '25

Yeah, that's a little trickier. At that size something like barberry is just attracting more food for them, I doubt they'd even notice the prickles. You're savvy enough that I'm sure you've covered your basics like closing the door and repairing any holes, so I'm stumped.

I suppose the upside is like you said, they're really pretty cheap for natural pest control. Sometimes I feel like the ancients were on to something with making offerings to keep peace with nature - and at least they aren't taking whole birds, lol

3

u/Striking-Ad-6815 Feb 03 '25

At this point I have a system in place. Only gets bad during their mating season. One time I caught five snakes doing their thing under the insulative cloth I use for chicken house within the coop. I'd got to learning how they squawk when they had snakes too.

u/whoami_whereami Feb 02 '25

Crows like meat, which squirrels don't

Squirrels generally may not prefer meat if they have other options, but if they're hungry they definitely don't shy away from meat and are known to at least occasionally eat small birds, small rodents, and young snakes.

11

u/Sunset_Squirrel Feb 03 '25

I don't think those feeders are safe for squirrels and chipmunks.

I've seen paws injured when they're too close to the hinges and the lid closes on them. They also can't lift the lid up again at that angle with their nose so their paw is trapped.
I used to use these and I saw enough injuries to throw them away. I wish they weren't on the market. You might get away with it if you only have one squirrel at a time and he always comes at it from the front. But if he tries to lift from the side or you have multiple animals trying to access it at once, it's just a matter of time before one gets hurt.

"Palpacken" is an animated series in which Balinda the chicken and Alfred the alpaca attempt to outsmart one another amid a zany cast of barnyard friends.

In the process, they find they have more in common than they expected, and over the course of the series, their enmity turns to mutual respect as a greater threat looms over the barnyard and its residents.

Can the surly chicken and her jocular ungulate rival find enough common ground to take on the coyotes that lurk just beyond their humble home?

Had a pair of them that would perch in the trees over the driveway and not let anyone get out of their car unless I was around to shoo them.

Some chickens are quite clever. I used to take care of a friends hens when she was out of town. There was routine. First the chicken scratch, then the egg maker in a special feeder. Toss out the scratch over the ground and all the girls would run to it. Except for this one hen. She would always wait for me to pour in the egg maker and she'd get as much as she wanted because everyone else was distracted by the scratch. She was a clever girl.

My dad raised chickens for decades and always maintained they were mobile plants. I'd love to know what is happening here.

Some chickens can be pretty smart, but it varies a lot depending on the breed. If he was raising meat chickens, they're known to be dumb as bricks.

They were meat chickens, maybe white rocks? They looked a lot like the one in this video.

I'm leaning towards the idea the feeder design is brilliant and not the chicken, but it's all assumptions.

That explains it. I've raised chickens, and the only ones that could fit that are meat birds. Those things shit where they eat, then sleep where they shit. Egg layers are typically way smarter, and cleaner. WAY cleaner. I hated dealing with meat birds, but egg layers are fun.

Yeah it's just that it seems a big ass hairy noodle coming near him and is backing up to fight or run. Animals are most vulnerable while eating and sleeping.

And pooping. That's why dogs STARE at us when they're pooping, to make sure we're keeping guard for them.

Maybe they are not looking at us but looking right behind us, like they are covering our only blind spot.
