They are certainly not pests and are protected by law. Most birds of pey prefer rodents over birds anyway. Chickend are the same shape and size as grouse or phesents, so its understandible they would confuse them. Overpopulated, most populations are declining due to developemntr of habitat
oh and there are goverment angencys that determine what are and are not pests. Just because they bother you doesnt make them pests.
Plus, many birds attak you if you go near their nest. Just look at mountain bluebirds. Water birds are far more dangerous. They have very very fast sharp beaks and like to aim for the eyes.
Yes, but a chicken won't lay any more eggs untill the chick can feed itself, if you keep the eggs in there[b said:Quote[/b] (Travis @ April 27 2004,12:58)]I agree with you Finch. I do not think that birds of prey are pest at all.
Spec, I use to have an incubator. It worked well for chickens but I could not get snapping turtles to hatch *although I only had one clutch to work on*. Then again using an incubator for chickens after awhile does not pay because the hens do a fine job incubating their own eggs.
