do chickens eat rodents
Chickens will eat almost anything and mice are no exception. Woe betide the poor mouse if a chicken gets hold of him. They will certainly peck the creature to death and very often will devour him or at least feed on parts of the mouse. Similarly they will do the same to frogs, snakes, moles and worms if they catch them! There is no evidence of this being detrimental to the chicken. One morning, when I came out to check on our hens, I noticed them fighting over what appeared to be the remains of a poor little mouse.
