***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Poco Pollo]

Morning Okies,

I needed to disinfect the heater water bucket from my White Chantecler pen. Last night the barn mice decided to have a jacuzzi party, and the festivities must have gotten out of hand, because this morning the Chantes were all standing around the bucket as if they were crime scene investigators. They'd look in, turn their heads sideways, step back, and then tell the rooster to go fix it. Five floaters. Ick. This is the best haul for a non-mouse-trap trap ever.

The barn kitties were still bobbing for mice when I returned form the house with my camera and a jug of bleach. The cats got their noses wet a few times, but the mice remained in the bucket. When the cats lost interest, I carried the bucket into the pasture and tossed the snacks out for the hawks. They need to be reminded where they are supposed to hunt. These will be like fast-food mice: soaked for eight hours and ready to eat!

Does that happen often?? If it does I need to set buckets of water out.

When we had freezing or close to freezing nighttime temperatures, I often found a floater in one or two buckets. It wasn't extremely cold last night, so I'm not sure whey so many decided to jump in. I'm glad the chickens won't drink if there's a mouse in the water. Ick!
