Cat and Mouse!!!

[warthog]

This morning I noticed 2 of my 3 cats with a small mouse, as usual the cats and playing around with it, as is the wont of cats.

Along came one of the chickens, stole the mouse from between the cats paws ran away and ate it, gone in seconds.

I had a chicken do that with a snake. Took it from the cat and ran. Chickens will eat ANYTHING! Mine were cleaning up after the goat butchering this weekend. If chickens were 3 feet tall they would be very dangerous.

The cats used bring mice up from the basement to play with and my greyhound would steal the mice from them. It was disturbing the first time watching the mouse's tail still wiggling, hanging out of the greyhound's mouth.

We don't have any mice in the house anymore. My aunt wants me to bring the greyhounds over to clear the rabbits out of her hay barn.

I've found that our chickens are better mousers than our cats. They always find and kill them. It seems strange, but chickens are actually carnivors.

I've seen a chicken that was close to three feet tall. He was over waist hight. some of the brahmas, jersey giants, and orpingtons can be absolutely huge.

This one was the size of a small turkey.

What about a six foot tall chicken the size of an emu. Lucky for us emus are veggy eaters.

When we find mouse nests in the garage we toss em to the chickens.

You'd have thought it was Christmas and their birthday all rolled into one and dipped in chocolate.
