Chipmunks: Thought they were cute at first... but

[real_redhead]

Would a chipmunk carry an egg away or eat it in the nest? I have lots of chipmunks but have never seen one in the coop?

Well, I just went out there, and found a mouse hiding under the "duckloo". (Which of course isn't the problem.) But the funny thing was, it ran into the chicken run and they attacked it. It got away, but for a minute there I was like, "Go chickens!"

My ducks didn't lay again today. Maybe they are just done with laying for awhile. We did have a cold front go through. I still think it's weird though.

I'll keep watching for rats. Something is definitely out there with all the burrowing that I found.
