Yesterday we caught 3 mice in our live traps that we keep by the chicken feed. One by one I released the mice into the run, and only stayed long enough to witness their demise. I came back out a few hours later, and discovered this. The chickens had placed the dead mice in a triangle formation, and were standing off to the side of it. They promptly abandoned the mice as soon as I came out. Apparently, I interrupted a chicken summoning ritual or perhaps they were making an offering to the Chicken Gods? At any rate, the mice are now in the trash bins out front. This is one of the strangest things I've seen yet!
