MOUSE!

I was thinking that exactly....I didn't put out my dish of poison for that reason. I'd rather have a few mice than a dead chicken. I just sealed all my grains and stuff in rubbermaid tubs to keep them out.

NO!! It is not an exaggeration!!! It is ratvilla under my shed and looks like the dang catacombs around it for the stupid rat tunnels!! I have decon rat baited now 7 times and am overjoyed when I see a dead one that has crawled out from under the shed but if I rake the dirt in my pen all nice and neat at night, in the morning, there are still tunnels in every corner where the little aggravating things come in. I take out the food and put it in a metal trash can, I remove the waterer too, they eat off the ground I guess. My chickens are closed in their roost part at night so the pen is free range I guess. I have tried all the stupid home remedies, the bucket with water, the pan of fresh carbonated soda (supposedly becasue they can't burp but apparently the farting is enough to get them by, lol!!!!) ...on and on and still I have them in a conga line running through my pen at night!!! UGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I guess I'll buy more decon, even bought some other brand from the feed store one time and I swear it makes them mutate and get bigger!! Makes me want to throw a grenade under my shed!!!!

try mixing peanut butter and baking soda together if it isnt too cold...I did this at my old place as I had rodent issues in my garage after a house was torn down in my old neighbourhood (the house was infested with rats)..

Between the mixture, traps and my pellet gun I wiped out the offending creatures...

Just a little side note here, steel, not plastic will keep them out. They will chew through those tubs in about half a heartbeat.

I have learned a very good lesson lately....what goes into my chickens goes into my eggs. So NO poison for me . I can't have my chickens eating what my kids eat.
