Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

First Video

I flushed the Polish out from under Mom (the heat plate). They are wobbly but moving around. The Legbar still can't stand on its own.

They look good considering what they went through.

There are 2 woods here that's why I thought that alternative. But if this is impossible I will have to take the cruel way. What's your view on the ultrasound method? Would this upset my chickens?

My understanding is the mice get used to them and ignore them. No idea on the chickens. Sorry!

 

[RoyalChick]

This mouse was at their feed this morning my girls are stressed

Don’t your girls attack the mice? Mine kill and eat them but they can’t keep up with how fast they breed which is why I went for exclusion.

 

[RoyalChick]

Ultrasound? Are you trying to remove the mice, or check if they are pregnant?

I can tell you that for free. They are definitely pregnant. I think they have babies every 6 weeks.

@RoyalChick

Looking up as much as I can and your way is the only way to go.

I haven't found any kill traps with good reviews. My birds will be old by the time I find what too do here

Thanks so much for your guidance.

I honestly think the snap traps are the most humane way to dispatch them.
I also have a couple of ‘rat zappers’ which electrocute them instantly but they are too expensive to deploy a lot of them.

I am rooting for all three of them.
do they drink on their own or are you syringing?

Quick Update

The legbar is still struggling. I gave her some sugar water. I am not optimistic.

The Buff is walking around and is now eating chick feed.

The Black Polish is improving but is not at the Buff's level yet.

The Legbar is Going to Pass

She is struggling to breathe now. There is nothing left I can do.

The Legbar is Gone

She passed around 1:30 my time. Miss Legbar has passed on. We will bury her next to Dusty.

Time Accelerated

the last three parts were accidentally put into @Ribh thread. I copied them over to here for those that don't follow hers.
