Backyard Disaster

Welcome to Backyard Chickens, the place for fun, friendship and FACTS about chickens.

I would not suggest poison. If a poisoned rat or mouse gets in your coop, and the chickens eat the rodent, then they eat poison too, and will die!

x3 I have held dying cats in my arms on more than one occasion from neighbors putting out poison for rodents, not to mention owls etc.

Feather picking can be the result of overcrowding, or possibly lack of protein. How large is your flock, and what do you feed them?
