Rats

[Peter Barash]

So I live in an area without an alley near me. We generally do not have rats. I saw one in my coop the other day after a big storm. Maybe the storm drove up the rats, but I'm worried it is coop related. Looking for advice on nipping this in the bud before it becomes a thing. Any advice appreciated.

Look on YouTube for Shawn woods’ videos.   Tons on trap options.

Do you know how it got in? Plug up any holes with hardwire cloth and get a rat proof feeder! I found one in mine once too! It was because I had left the run door open while the chicken were out grazing. I never did that again! I also got a different feeder.
