Baby barn rats=snack.

Every July we get a “rodent bloom. Today Scott and I were cleaning the chicken area and discovered a nest of baby rats under the small barn in the bantam run. What a score! Not only will I have less rodent entrails to step in on the way to make coffee almost every morning, I get to feed my chickens a protein rich snack.  Chickens will eat pretty much anything they can catch and these are a special treat!
