That's pretty weird dude..
Yup! But, this is a fantastic idea! Crows are not interested in eating your poultry, but are a deterrent to raptors, which are VERY interested in eating domestic poultry. It's a means of attracting LGBs! (Livestock Guardian Birds!)
This sounds interesting!
I see people struggling with predator birds around their chickens all the time on Facebook and nobody has ever brought up attracting crows. I think it’s a great idea, although they definitely could get annoying with all their noise. Definitely will keep the idea in mind though!

Sheet mulching layer for my front yard. Perfect timing, too! And I missed the chance/was too lazy to scavenge from the bins on collection day.
The biggest pain is removing all that tape!

Along our quiet street there is a three acre, permanently empty plot and stretches of green that are public land. The plots have lamb's quarters, garlic mustard, woodland lettuce, curly dock, bitter dock, purple deadnettle, wild garlic, chicory, narrow leaf and broadleaf plaintain, chickweed, sorrel, and clover. In other words, Fast food! Free vegetables! Unfortunately, the mugwort is trying to move in and take over.
I can't have a barely useful, superspreader, invasive weed overcome my delicious, nutritious weeds! So, my neighbors watch as I weed among the weeds, tearing out only the mugwort, especially after a soaking rain when it's easier.
One day as I was gathering some greens and pulling mugwort, our wonderful, funny, busybody neighbor Chris goodnaturedly asked me,
"What the hell are you doing?"
I explained.
Dire warnings about being poisoned, wildlife peeing on my food, etc., followed by the inevitable "You're crazy!".
I think he loves it.
