Hello,

Looking for a bit of advice please. I've a really big problem with crows fowling in the livestocks water. Has anyone managed to overcome this with a clever solution? We've sheep and a couple of small Shetland cows and I can't think of a way that they could access the water but the crows not.

Am I right in thinking that you can shoot crows in Scotland and if so has anyone found tying dead ones to the fence to be effective in warding off others?

I'm currently lugging water around to them all in a water hog and water is in large buckets. It's becoming a heck of a chore when I'm having to empty and scrub them everyday though!

I've posted this in sheep and cattle to hopefully get a breadth of experience, I hope that's ok. Any suggestions will be gratefully received!
