Pulled the wire cage in hen house to clean out and put Ideal chicks in it. Found trails and holes in dirt under cage. Don't know if it's mice/rats, snake or what. Whatever it is, is digging under metal wall to get in.
After close inspection, noticed that some of the large eggs I collect from pig pen flock are speckled. Haven't look under magnifying glass yet, but specs appear red.
They must have an aggressive marketing department. I have not even looked at anything from this hatchery and yet they found me and sent a catalog. Oh no!! Gotta look and maybe shop.
Little mouse is culprit for holes and trails under cage. If you look closely, you can see his eyes glow and top of ears in hole. Set mouse trap.

1.5" from Sunday night & Monday. 5.9" from last night. More on way.
Main flock free ranging down to 3 hens I hatched that are 4-5 months old, 2 adult roos, 1st hatchling hen from October 2015 and 1 rooster 4-5 months old. Other 2 old hens sitting on nest and 1 has babies.
Put the Ideal 30 pack outside on ground couple days ago. They very much enjoyed it. Can't wait to get them in the hen house and new enclosed pen.
