You’ll end up killing a dozen for each one you allow to live now.

How this would have gone at my place:

Husband: “No there’s not.”

I usually call the chickens over and they enjoy a protein snack.

I’d have left them, too. Chances are something else will eat them before they make it far in life, anyway.

For us it depends on the species. Local, native rodents get a pass, to a point. Invasive rats/house mice get fed to the chickens. Nothing wrong with respecting and working with the local wildlife, as long as there is balance.

We were tossing straw around the asparagus in the garden when I was a kid and ran across a bunch of pinkies like this. We got the farm cats to come over and it was a bit… much.
