I just got this rat trap called the Ratinator. It's kinda pricey but everyone says it's worth it. It can trap up to 12 rats in one go. It's a live trap so you'll have to dispose of them however way you feel like.Rat(s) are back
Filled up their feed, the very next day (we leave it in hanging feeders but apparently that didn't matter one bit) it was down to 1/4
Nooo hell naw that's expensive feed you MFers!!
So started putting up the feed at night. What a pain in the ass chicken keeping is
We are going to have to pave the run so they cannot get in under it.
Good thing these guys are free range all day.
Honestly though -- they are all out foraging right now, it's greening up here -- and when I go out to feed them just now, they just scramble as if they're STARVING.
I'm going to start just putting out some feed in the afternoon/evenings. They can forage all day lol
The reason I finally invested in it is because someone on a goat forum had a newborn healthy baby goat disembowled (poor thing died) and another one severely injured by rats. They swarmed the poor mom and babies. It was devastating! The rat droppings I've seen are in my goat maternity ward....
