Hi, we have a problem. We have had chickens for years and in the last few months, we noticed some rats and they are digging under the coop into the run and eating the food. So I started putting the food in at night, we live next to a field by the way . I haven't seen any for awhile, but I see a hole pop up overnight. And now apparently the neighbors have rats living in their house, we do not (and the coop Is next to our house not theirs) so they filed a complaint with the city claiming it's our fault because we have chickens. How can we get rid of rats? Or just keep them away from the coop? Special feeders? (we also only have four hens and keep it very clean.)
