Everyday brings with it new challenges, but today was more than interesting. I went to feed the chickens today and found a mouse who was stuck in the coop- he got about halfway through the wires and then got stuck! Apparently we are feeding the mice as well as the rest of the animals (the cats and I are going to have a long talk, by the way).
I put on a pair of thick leather gloves in case the mouse decided I was a threat, and a few snips of the wire cutters, and the little guy (well, fat guy) was free. He actually was relaxed about the entire thing, and sat there very calmly as I cut him out. Once he was free, he walked right through the coop and past us without a care.
I’ll be fixing the hole in the chicken coop tomorrow. Who knew in addition to horses I’d have to rescue mice as well?
This little guy was so fat he got stuck in the wires of the chicken coop!
