frenchtoast Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I have 3 or 4 magpies visiting the garden, one is a baby being fed and they are all a real pain (but I'm prejudiced since they stole some blackbird eggs!) . I've noticed they pull at the Omlet flexible netting and sit on it giving the chickens ideas no doubt. The chickens are getting annoyed having to chase them away. Do you think they can do damage to either the netting, or the chickens for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 A magpie got into my run once. He was terrified as he was too dim to find his way out and the girls lined up and gave him what for. They often peck about on the area where the hens range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchlayer Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Look out if they do get in they are naughty for picking eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 My chickens successfully saw off the two magpies that dared to enter their territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
