Crow flaps for creep feeders.

Arrow in the Knee

Do you use them?

I'm looking for the clear plastic for the creep feeders for the lambs. I use Fleming creep feeders where the lambs can walk in and out.

Edit: Fierce amount of fcuking crows and jackdaws here!

They're a curse for attracting crows

Yeah

Just looking to get clear plastic thats a bit thick so that the lambs can go in and out and the crows can fcuk off somewhere else.

Plus there's a neighbour who feeds the crows everyday with bread.

The feckers know your routine too

Stick a scarecrow next to the feeders. Something that flaps around in the wind. I do most of my feeding in the hour before sunset when the crows are heading off to roost, probably the easiest way to avoid this problem as stock can then feed in peace.

Tried the scarecrow but after a couple a days they cop on.

Also the lambs will do their best to pull whatever clothing off, what is on the scarecrow.

Coldrooms/walk in fridges often have thick plastic strips hanging down acrross the doorway to keep the cold air in but allow a person/forklift to get through - they might do the job for you. A phone call to a coldroom supplier might be a start.
