My hen ate rat poop this morning. I feel so sick that I don't know what happen to her next.

3 things I will do today are:
I already did post for help with this on BYC
I will throw out lime everywhere in my chicken runs after they all in the coop ..I am not sure what this will do,but I do something hoping to deter them from coming into my chicken runs.
And....complaint about how hard it is to have backyard chickens.

My hen ate rat poop this morning.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Will she get sick? Do I throw out her eggs?

I pulled up all the tomato plants.
I hauled them all to the burn barrel.
I washed the rugs from the bathroom.

Will she get sick? Do I throw out her eggs?

She should not get sick and the eggs should be fine.

She should not get sick and the eggs should be fine.

Thank you. I feel a lot better. For no reason we suddenly have this rat/mice/mouse..infestation..I think it is an infestation because their droppings are everywhere this morning. It has started a bit since last week and today is just magnified.

I use bait blocks. You can get them with holders that the birds cannot reach. You may want to use traps. Electronic traps work well in dry areas. Bucket traps can work well too.

We did put out trap last week, caught 1 the size of a 250ml cup. Non since, but this morning the rat poops are just everywhere.

Lime will make whatever small feed on the ground decompose faster.

I have 2 dogs and my neighbours have dogs that all in the garden all day, so baiting rat I can not do. My dogs are inside at night so they can not do much. My miniature fox terrier dog only have a few teeth left so he is not much risk the those rodents.

Edit to add that those nasty rodents dug up and ate all my sweet potatoes.
