What a fantastic pic!

that is a 9 lb Shamo hen, so that looks bigger than a mouse.

The rat got what it deserved.

She looks fantastic with that attitude on her face. If only I could say that about the wife.

For live catches, I've only seen my flock with small snakes. I have no photos of that because snakes freak me out so much I'm usually having a fit as far away from the action as possible. We only have the "good" kind of snakes here.

I wish the hens would take care of the gophers. Maybe I need some Shamo on patrol.

Garter Snake, not Gardner Snake.

With my birds,,, if they can catch it,, they will. And then happily devour it. Field mice, gophers, rats, even large garter snakes. Even our cats give the girls a wide berth

If we were to fall paralyzed in their coop long enough, they would eat us to.
