If you are OK with using traps put the traps in a rabbit cage or a closed box with a small hole in it so the mice can go in but hens cannot get to it.

Hope these help. You could also get a cat.

I discovered rats lately in my coop. I did put Decon in a place where the rats could get to it but not the birds. Also I bought some Rat Bars from TSC and put them where the chickens couldn't get to them. I did find a dead Rat under a wood pile which are on pallets.
