Probably, one of mine had a shrew last year, as well as frogs!!!

When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo! What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!

Shrews are very territorial and will fight to the death so there is a slim chance the hens might not be guilty.
I believe cats can find them distasteful too.
