Oh my goodness!!! Look at your crew!! They are so cute! If they are anything like me, they ate all the green food up in a hurry! Haha! Thanks for sharing!

Hey there!

Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate all of your feedback! I am going to pick up some of that RatX and try that tonight with that bucket trap and all my 400 mouse traps that I have put out last night! I have a camera in their coop which is good and bad because I definitely just stayed up all...
