Yep, I promised my chickens I would take good care of them when they were babies... so I guess lugging that thing around twice a day falls into that category! (Note to self: Now that they've emptied it only fill it 1/4 of the way full so it isn't so heavy!! Lol!)

Thank you for the welcome Hungnguyen! If the Bait Bucket fails me, I will definitely look into that. Your solution seems so simple I can't believe it never occurred to me!

I am putting their LARGE hanging feed bucket up for the night as suggested (kind of a pain.. but my chickens are worth it!) and clean up the treat left overs (i.e.: rinds or any fruit/veggie they don't eat). Decon or poison baits wouldn't work since their coop is actually a repurposed garden...

I just went out to tuck my chickens in bed and saw a mouse scurry across the floor! I know i can't put poison down because the chickens may eat it or the mouse that eats it.. (one of the girls caught a FROG today and had great fun playing 'keep away' with the others!) Is there some safe way to...
