Most Likely ;)
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.
