You called her a 'hen'...hens are 1 year or older...if less than a year she is still a 'pullet' and may grow a little.
Thanks.

Well i bought a zap trap and have it out there and i got a havahart live trap. Hoping one of them gets the stupid thing. But one thing is for sure it WILL die !!!

Well just mesured the bar spacing and its 1 1/4th between the bars. And i had four pet rats a year and a half ago and if its not 1/2inch bar spacing then they will squeeze through.
Good thing my coop is covered in hard ware cloth.

I would do that but considering this rat is the size of our neighbors little yappy thing and must weigh at LEAST 1lb when i get that thing killed i am going to weigh it. I swear its the bigest rat i have EVER.

No poison we have two dogs who eat every thing and poison is pretty cruel and we have tons of vultures and i would be afraid of them getting the body first and eating it and dieing.
So far im thinking about a zap trap.
I am SOOOOO angry right now i JUST got a beutiful NH pullet last night and i put her in a rabbit cage with 1inch bar spacing and set it outside for the night figuring she would be fine and i would put her in a quarentine pen in the morning well i walk out there and my birds are all super...
