I know I know... This is going to sound stupid, but I can not kill mice. I killed one of my chickens once and it gave me nightmares for months...Im a wuss. I cant kill anything.
The problem is that now our coop is OVERRUN with mice and not one of my girls has turned out to be a mouse killer! Now I dont mind contracting out the killing to someone else...
oh this is going to sound dumb...
If I got barn cat as a kitten, and raised it in the coop with the birds...could it learn to kill and eat the mice while leaving my girls alone? Im not afraid of it getting at the big girls but i have a few teeny girls. Id love a barn cat for mousing, but all the mice are INSIDE the coop and theyre sneaky as hell and have thwarted our attempts to catch them.
does anyone have a coop barncat?
