No. We don't use poison. We used a combination of cornmeal and baking soda inside the house but it hasn't worked.I doubt some mouse droppings in the food would kill a chicken. I have mouse/rat droppings all around my coop and haven't had a problem. Now if the chicken were to eat a poisoned mouse that could definitely kill the chicken. Do you use mouse/rat poison at all?
We have caught a few mice inside the house with the sticky little pads.
My husband has seen a lot of mice and a few rats in the pole barn which is very far away from the chickens.
Today we saw a black snake in the yard, but I don't think they can kill a chicken. They're not venomous.
I appreciate very much the help
