Hi

 

Mr Rhode Island Red here, with a problem.

 

As well as my 8 lovely hens, I also keep 8 pigeons, who stay in an arc I previously used for my first flock of hens (who, unfortunately for 5 of 6, RIP ) However, now with my new flock of hens, who live in a custom made shed, the pigeons have gottena bit too freindly for my liking.

 

They have started going into the shed while outside for their daily fly. A domesticated pigeon is only supposed so eat a small handful of mixed corn every day, however now they have access to 5kg of it. Now they're eating loads of food, annoying the hens as they try to lay their and generally stressing the girls out.

 

If anybody could please suggest a way to stop them from going into the shed it would be greatly appreciated (bar getting rid of them)

 

Ps. Please read my more important problem in the forum, titled "oh no! scower"

 

Thanks

Definitely want to keep the pigeons out.

 

Are pigeons scared off by dangling CDs? If so, you could try that.

Could you not just shut the shed up while the pigeons are out or is it for a long time?

[Mr Rhode Island Red]

They're usually outside for a few hours, I could shut up the shed, but then the hens themselves couldn't lay, or access food.

 

And they don't seem terribly frightened of cd's either

Ho w about putting something whizzy or flappy up. It might do the trick.
