the chickens will eat the mouse if they can catch it. you can also put down some mouse traps down but MAKE SURE your chickens cannot get to them

Mice are naturally attracted to food and nesting material. But Jeeper is right, the chickens will try to catch it, and if they can catch it, will eat it. If it is just one, don't worry. I wouldn't ever consider using traps or poison bait anywhere near my chickens.
