    Has anyone posted a thread on chickens eating chewing tobacco?

    Has anyone posted a thread on chickens eating chewing tobacco?

    What are you doing to handle the mice around your coops. I had a huge mouse dart from under my coop into the ground under the fence. Very big and dark brown. No it was not a chipmunk or red squirrel. I am on 5 acres. Seriously, how can you do anything when the entire area has chicken feed and...
