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!

My own dog. Ever since my chicks hatched she's been barking and growling at them and going up to the brooder and pawing at them inside the brooder. If I'm sitting on the floor with them in my lap, she comes over and tries to get at them

You’re gonna have to watch her!
I really hope she doesn’t cause any fatalities….
