Not half as horrible as what you would have seen had Plucky caught it.

Chickens are pretty good mousers.

I agree. I think sometimes chickens are better mousers than cats.

I had a hen who was a mouser. Unbelievable. Two whacks on the ground and then GULP. And I claimed to have vegetarian-fed hens . . .

My stupid chickens just sit on their roost and watch the mice eat their food.

The saying is "If you see one mouse then you have a hundred".
Im really hoping that is an exaggeration.

My chickens love eating mice i saw a few hens the other days running after a field mouse lol

I noticed in the past 2 days that I have some furry friends. Of course they run only in the storage area and between the insulation in the walls. I am preparing a deadly dish for them tonight.

I hate mice. IDK what my chickens would do if they got ahold of one, I think the mice are being careful.

Probably
do they just swallow them whole?

Yep. Especially pinkies....

Be careful with poison, because if they eat the dead mouse, they can get poisoned too.
