Hey all,
Had all the signs of mice getting into my horse stall turned coop. I wanted to see if they were getting into the hanging feeder or just getting the stuff on the floor so I setup my newly acquired Game Camera.
Looks like floor only. (click to enlarge). One in the bottom left and one on the block of wood.
The most the camera caught was two at a time like shown here.
Should I bother to deal with them or just accept it as a consequence of keeping chickens?
If I should deal with them, what do y'all do?
I could trap them or lock my cat in there overnight. I've considered putting some cat litter box remains near by to "smell" them away. I'm not a big fan of poisoning since my cats do get one every now and then.
