I've got mice in the hen house. Any ideas how to repel them?
The hen house was originally the milk house. That means it is finished out with plaster walls inside. Great hiding for millions of mice. Half of it is yard tool storage the other half is layers. I open the door and let the cats in the tool side but I am sure then mice run to the other side. I went in to gather eggs just now and there were a couple scurrying about. One was in a nesting box. I have been having some broken eggs and thought it was time to rotate these hens out, but I am starting to think those mice are breaking eggs. I'm sure the hens would really take after them, but they were down for the night.
I am going to block off a nesting box and put a mouse trap in there and a couple other spots that I won't bother a hen. That's a loosing battle, though. I suppose I could put my next batch of layers in another house and eradicate the building good, but the other house isn't ideal for layers (it is my broiler house).

Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
