Dead Mole in Coop.......

[GC-Raptor]

A mole made a tunnel into my Golden Comets pen while I was there last summer. The girls attacked and killed it in seconds. Where's my phone, in the house of course. Nothing much happens when it's in my pocket. Well they left it when it stopped moving. Wouldn't eat it. I think they taste bad. Cats wouldn't eat them either when I was a kid. I tossed it into the woods. GC

Thanks everyone! Like I said this makes me feel a lot better! Because I shouldn’t have to worry about diseases spreading. I have seen chickens tare apart frogs many times (they seem to enjoy it). Hopefully I won’t have to worry about them getting in anymore. Tomorrow I can get a picture of the hole he chewed! I was surprised.

I love a good game of keep-away with a flattened, dead, leather frog or earthworm. They crack me up!

Here is the hole that was chewed in my run door!

Persistent booger.

Sure it wasn't a baby beaver? (Kidding)

 

[Chick Chick McGee]

I am pretty sure

Wonders if it was the mole that chewed the hole, or something else.
I thought moles usually stay underground?
A game cam might be telling.

It could be a rat too.

I'd not repair it but put a rat trap under a milk crate right inside the coop by that hole.

Good idea! The hole was chewed before I found the dead mole so it was probably a rat. (That chewed it)
