Una totale e convincente abitudine all'ombra. Sentirsi a proprio agio con i piedi poggiati dove non c'è più luce, e ad uscire per un attimo ancora con il corpo al chiarore più abituale. Dove i ricordi erano più caldi, e la foresta è sempre stata un tempio.

Seeking some advice from my fellow #Poultry people.

There are two ravens that have recently become very bold and begun flying down into our chicken's (fenced) yard to steal some of the scraps we throw for them. Until recently, these same ravens have been pretty known around the property: sometimes they raid our compost, or play with my dog's toys, so I'm not really averse to having them around. However, I'm a little worried about disease vectors or them trying to steal one of my smaller chickens (or young pullets when we have them).

So, if you look online, everyone says basically that you MUST fence the roof of the yard, keep them out at all costs, etc. But I feel a little hesitant to do something so drastic. First, small songbirds do hang out with our chickens sometimes and eat their food, and while those are also potential disease vectors, they eat flies and other pests that might otherwise plague our chickens and gardens, and I'm happy to have them around unless a problem should arise (so far so good, we have pretty hardy poultry and plan to keep it that way). Second, it would just be costly to do something like that and I'm kind of hoping to avoid adding that to our project list right now. Finally, our chickens often are let out to pasture when I don't have new seeds in the ground, and so even if their yard is fully secured I'm interested in solutions/ideas that would fit with pastured birds as well.

TLDR; how concerned should I be about ravens getting braver around my flock of chickens? What solutions could I employ that would work for my chickens in their yard and when they pasture?

My husband and I had a native garden designer come out over the winter to create a plan for us and it’s time to get started. Our home’s previous two owners were shortish term and they did zero maintenance of any kind to the gardens of the long-term owners before them, meaning it is time for: The Great De-Minting of 2024

(all of this green you see is a single monstrous Apple Mint plant. believe it or not, there are Ground Violets hanging on underneath.)
