We have a little rodent problem at the mo, :roll: all is in hand to rid us of the little vermin.... :evil: but our chooks either have slowed right down with their egg laying, (4 chooks, 1 egg a day) could it be the cold wet weather? or are those little rat's pinching our girlies eggs? No sign of broken eggs but know they are living under the summerhouse, driving our little doggie wild! any ideas please :?:

Rats most 100% do steal eggs.
