Hi, was just reading about the problems with mice in the co-op, but can someone let me know if the mice hurt the chickens or if it is only a problem with stealing food and chewing holes in everything?

I second this question. I just saw (only a moment ago for the first time) that field mice have made a home in the space between the ceiling of the coop and the roof. They're just little babies and I'm sort of an animal lover so... if they wont bother the chickens, I don't want to bother them.Hi, was just reading about the problems with mice in the co-op, but can someone let me know if the mice hurt the chickens or if it is only a problem with stealing food and chewing holes in everything?

By the way, I found this out because every night my cat has been coming to the door with a baby mouse in his mouth. This time I took the mouse and put it in the grass, let the cat back out and followed him. First he checked where he'd last left it, it wasnt there, so he went directly to the chicken coop, sat his little butt on the ground and stared up at the roof. Guess he's just been waiting all night for them to fall into his lap each night.
Well, I did put the baby he had caught back up there. Lol, I'm terrible.
