Update for our Labor Day Chicken Gathering: We will have beanbag toss games for the kids. Do I need to paint numbers next to the openings on the beanbag board? I think I do. I'm working on the boards this weekend. We will also have a few boards with cutouts for faces so people can take an event day photograph. I've only finished the sky on the first face board. I'll post a photo tomorrow when I get the heads, ears, necks, etc. painted.
snakes put moth balls out they think they are eggs eat one and die.
How are they getting in? Figure that out and block it.
Minnow traps are what I use around pens they really work well and you can build them easy enough to fit your tractor..
Most mouse and rat poisons are anti-coagulants and cause the rodent to dehydrate and bleed to death and just depends how much is in the rodent when the chickens get ahold of it, Chickens being so much larger than a mouse I assume it would take more poison to kill them but then again it is poison so to me any is too much, at work they put out a green block and the mouse droppings are green from it for a while before it dies, so it doesn't kill fast is my guess or at least not fast enough, I don't use or recommend chemicals personally but I have several animals out all the time and I wouldn't want an accident,
Totally agree!
