Yep, I had bales surrounding my coop this winter and that's how it all started. I have a vendetta right now.

If you guys are in the market for a dog, a terrier would do you wonders. My dad's buildings are full of rats and his dog seems to kill one or two almost every day. Trouble is, the rat habitat is so good, the dog won't keep up at his place.

Steps 1. Get some chickens.

Go to Costco. Get out a five dollar bill.....and buy one of their rotisserie chickens. Two or three meals from one bird. Best tasting chicken around and no effort involved. Just saying.

Fucking Amish all started these chicken barns around here and now everyone has Rats. I hat them bastards. Been buying Rat bait by the 5 gal pails full lately. They love to dig in under chicken houses and grain bins. But they got into my last 1000 bales of straw and started cutting strings on the bales sharpening their teeth. I hate fucking Rats! I saw those hoof prints and buggy wheel tracks on your road....and meant to ask you if the Amish lived on your road. Saw lots of horses too......and a few homes without an electric line to 'em.

Costco or any other grocery store chicken doesn't compare to my homegrown brined and roasted birds. We've had meat birds every year for 5 years, zero problems with rats or any other predators (knock on wood). Keeping birds/bird food year round is when the problems arise I think

Hopefully solved my rat problem this weekend. Raised coop/run and put a solid floor in it.

Nice, I think you have to call that a chicken condo.

That's a hell of a nice chicken pin. Good job.
