I have actually been out there to get the eggs and seen them scurrying away and out of the nest box.

Jerks!

Demons, jerks, full on domestic terrorist. Yesterday I had 4 in the nest box and they all had yolk on them. I locked up my girls in hopes of them taking those buggers out. Today I got 10 eggs from 11 chickens. Darlin my RIR is molting so she's the hold out. I completely despise mice. What I would love to be able to do is dig down 4 feet and put in razor wire, barbed wire and a wire that I bought at The Home Depot, then electricify it and take it so far up to ensure they cannot come in to my property.

Sound amazing!
Wish I had finances to do something extravagant like that! We could turn the power up so high that they get BBQ’d on contact!
