Chickens eat mice! They can catch them and stab them with beaks that don't miss. Behold the awesome power of chickens!

He's not kidding. I live on a chicken farm, I've seen it myself!

Roosters prefer bigger prey than mice, however. Saw one spear a gopher once.

I live across the street from fields and such. And have a problem with mice, rats and gophers. I was thinking of getting some chickens for their eggs (except I'm allergic to feathers, but presuming that the allergy shots work), would a couple of chickens help with the rodents?

My brother's chickens are tough and they intimidate his two minpin dogs, and they also chase cats out of his yard.

But he keeps them in his chicken coop now, and no longer lets them roam around the yard. I think the main reason why nobody wants chickens roaming the streets is because of their incredible ability to crap everywhere, and chicken poo is some mean stuff, a cross between paint and tar.

I grew up on a small farm and never once saw a chicken eat a mouse -- course, our cats probably made it impossible.

I always laugh at those who think chickens should only be fed "vegetarian" diets. They don't realize chickens are omnivores. Our chickens' FAVORITE food was the grub worms I used to throw over the fence to them (I saw them eating bugs and other worms so I figured they'd enjoy a juicy treat - and boy howdy did they!)

Seems to me if you own an orchard and you don't want to use pesticides a flock of chickens might work. And, they'd fertilize the trees a little. Nature... one big toile... I mean "cycle"!

You do realise, River, that what you are doing is illegal?
1) You've stolen an image from my servers.
2) You're using my image without permission.
3) What you're doing amounts to stalking.

Like I've said before real flattering that you love me that much to make me the centre of you insanity and obsessions, but still, illegal.

My grandafther used to own chicken houses when I was a wee lad. (definitely, not the free range variety) If you ever needed an ego boost you could walk down the center of the C.

That was actually pretty funny.

Curious thought, since we're descended from/share a common ancestor with/ mice. At some point, dinosaurs fed off of our monkey mouse ancenstor, who would later evolve into us, and dinosaurs would evolve into chickens, et. al, and then we would eat them. The fork is on the other plate now, T-Rex.
