[QUOTE="Pam R, post: 238841, member: 108"] In the local chicken group I belong to, I'd heard that someone had chickens that were excellent mouse hunters. So I guess it's entirely possible. Many people do not know that chickens are omnivores and do much better when they get some sort of animal protein. Had the mouse corpse been left there, they probably would have cleaned it up. Mine get fresh ground pollock every day, 1/8 oz/bird/day, enough to provide the animal protein missing from their layer ration, but not enough to make them or their eggs fishy. On the bitter cold days, this is substituted with the ground waste/fat from the slaughtered steer. It gives them extra energy to keep warm. Pam R. [/QUOTE]
