I've read on here about people 'spicing up' their chicken feed to stop mice and rats eating it. I'm sick of hauling in the feeders every night, so how much of what spice should I put in a 20kg bag? Or should I just dose it out as I fill up the feeder?
I mix cheyenne till I see the color change. I add it to the buckets I store in. Not only does it detour mice, it helps regulate the body temp of the birds and helps them stay warm in the winter months. Supposed to be good for worms too.

Thanks. I feel dumb for not thinking of it i know people who put it in there bird feeders to keep the squirrels from eating it.
yeah I knew about birds not being able to sense it, I was more concerned about the 'new thing' to digest for such young birds. But if it's ok! Hehe those mice won't know what hit them! <me mice > chickens > yay more food!
