We have finally seen a rat (and a brave young adult one) in and under our coop. We have a new muscovy mom who has just hatched some babies yesterday in there. I think that we have then determined who was eating eggs here and there. Now, the mom has already attacked it (or another...there are always more than one, right?). My husband took a shot at it last night and must have just grazed it because I can still see it running in and out this morning.
My question is, how do we get rid of it without the ducks, ducklings or chickens not eating poison or otherwise getting hurt with another method? We would like to take care of this as soon as possible.
