(I debated whether this belonged here or in Predators and Pests - if I guessed wrong, apologies and hopefully a mod will move it)
What do y'all do with mice that you catch in snap-traps? Tossing one out across the snow this morning I thought "am I wasting perfectly good chicken food, here?" I mean, if the mouse was in their pen the girls would DEFINITELY try to catch it and would eat it if at all possible.
I am pretty totally positive there is no old poison bait lurking anywhere around here, for various reasons. (otherwise I would not even entertain the idea). But are there other considerations? Can a chicken choke on a mouse, or anything like that?
What do other BYCers do with dead mice from the coop?
Thanks,
Pat
