The only good mouse is a dead one! You need to trap them and drown them or kill them however you like! My goodness, they are rodents that carry disease!
Hi Kris, mice are a problem probably in most chicken areas because we feed them grain. They are rodents and carry disease so I would advise to get rid of them by trapping with live or snap traps. Taking them out of your area doesn't really help because that only propagates them somewhere else...
