I don’t have chickens now, but had them the entire time growing up and they would kill a mouse so fast it wasn’t funny. We had some hens that would eat them some would just walk away.
Mine will peck them to dead and leave them for me to find..lol
I don’t see any evidence of or any mice in my chicken coop, however, they’ve been seen in my garden shed where I keep the chicken food in a metal garbage can
My chickens kill mice and gophers.
When I see some of the posts from this site , I believe they are writing it for city people who know nothing.
For real. Keep mice out of your stuff. Hmmm.
Wonder if I can make money telling people that. Don’t even have to tell them how.
