Coopster Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Interesting thread, we have rats coming into the chicken run, little darlings digging under the fence. Got an air rifle and a humane trap so I can just send them to rat heaven, but apart from occasional sightings so far no luck. Beginning to think poison is the way forward...

Paul T Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 We get occasional visitors this time of year, mainly after the chicken feed. Fortunately we never get inundated as there are not many places for then to hole up, but it makes good sport with the old HW80 when one does appear. Had one yesterday as it happens, which peeked out from under the coop. I had the rifle poking out the kitchen window in less than 30 seconds, so when it ran out to the feeder and stopped for a split second - BANG. I might get a dozen or so between now and spring, then it'll go quiet for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopster Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Lo and behold ten minutes ago the varmint was sitting between the shed and coops chomping on a corn cob, I was only about 20 metres away so an easy shot. Why did it feel so good... because he's eluded me for weeks. Coopster 1 Rats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
