i was remembering when i went out to the coop and there were mice everywhere!! i was cleaning out the coop and after scrapping and sweeping i wasnt satisfied ,so i got the water hose out and started spraying the coop down. thats when all heck broke out !! there was running, screaming, jumping all over, then there was the mice. they were going nuts. i was drowning them with the hose, they were getting stuck between the wire and wood. i had a 50 gallon tub turned upside down and i thought i bet there under there too . the kitten was sniffing aroud it. so i got a long stick and was trying to lift the bucket up. just as it raised i seen about 8 of them. the kitten ran under the tub just as the stick broke. i was hearing thump,bang. after all settled i got the nerve to lift the bucket and all i saw was one happy kitty. he lives in the coop now. good cat.
