I've had some mice lately, and I seen rat poo under my car hood, and I'm worried that rats will be coming by and eat the car funcions until the car's useless. And I'm wondereing, I know rats will eat chicken feed, but will hens eat mice too as roosters can?
 
I don't know about all chickens but mine will eat a mouse any time they get a chance. I sometimes have mouse holes in the ground in pens and put a garden hose in the hole and flush the mice out. My chickens stand around the hole waiting for the mice to come out and then it's a fight to see who gets the mouse first. They then eat the mouse until nothing is left. I only use traps for mice but never poison for fear of my chickens getting poisoned.
 
we had a rat problem and i looked out the window to see my chickens going nuts in the pen so i ran out there to see 5 baby rats running as the chickens were eating them but i had to take them away cause i set poison down and didn't want the chickens eating the infected rats if they were but i always throw a mouse or two in there every once in a while so they can have there meats lol
