Grow hot peppers. I mix black and cayenne pepper in their feed and haven't had any problems (but I also have a small flock.) You can try growing mint around the structures. I hope everything works out for you.
@@adolfvictor1500The chickens are Caged and,,,it will shock you that Cats can be trained to recognise chickens as desirable components of the environment and will not harm them More like ur ur dog doesn't harm ur home cat but will not tolerate cats from another house
I am sure you have watched Tom & Jerry before right? I had a similar problem also, not as many as thousands though, but immediately I introduced cats at the farm, it's been quiet - you cannot not see a rat near by. It's like the rats smell danger and quickly begin to shift to other homes.
As noted, cats will resolve the issue immediately. In addition, change the wire mesh to the one with smaller diameters.. Thirdly, the store with maize needs to be raised and add roof-like style iron sheets at the bottom which will prevent rats from climbing inside the store. Store has to be more secure.
You need a well secure wall structure building for the maize. The building area where you put it is not secure get some cats. And get a weed wacker to cut the grasses and weed
Use of sticky mats can help. The presence of feeds will always keep them coming. And the gaps in-between the wall nets seem to be big, if there is a net with smaller holes, can also help.
They come in through the roof, openings between the roof and the net. Keep vigil one night and see how they scale your net like ninjas. They once reduced a friend's 100 chick to 5. And he has to take the chicks and raise them in his home. At first we thought it was a sabotage, we didn't understand till we kept vigil
I had to search for , and block a tunnel they've dug on the ground leading them straight into my chicken house . Completely stopped now. They were eating my chicken also.
I have that problem too...but my business is not as large as yours...you are doing really well and l applaud you for being very industrious...Now rats are coming new and improved and inteligent...they will not eat the bait just like that so you have to make the bait tasty and flavourful...Mash the bait and mix it with some corn beef, meat sauce or peanut butter...Put it in your store house wher your feed is and outside near your hen house .. do this before it gets dark before you finish your day around your farm and see the difference
Hi doc, I have listened to this, but my question is that. How far is the feed from the place where the chickens are. Is the feed to close to the chicken farm. I suggest that you keep feed somewhere far from the chicken house . Putting traps in the chicken house it's not going to work because you will put risk on the chickens to fall into a trap too. I think the distance between the chicken house and the feeds could be looked into consideration. I see people are suggesting cats, while this could be a good idea but cats are naughty. Won't they start eating chickens? I suggest you look into the distance. The feeding has to be far from the place where chickens are staying. I think this will solve the problem. Kind regards
@melissagoodwin2602 Dogs do learn to respect home property including chicken and other animals. Cats do the same. However, for dogs to respect cats at home, they need to grow up together.
Hello, Daniel. I am seeking some knowledge on how to manage bird overcrowding in the evening. My birds are 9 weeks old but still pile up in corners during the evening. It has been a daily routine for us to separate them until 9 PM. How do you guys handle that kind of situation?
You tried everything and you allowed us to suggest cats. Rear some cats it has worked for me my house. I believe they can assist even the store. Rats attract snakes be careful.
Then try moving the dogs out to a different location for a short period of time and then get some cats again. Get kittens, grown cats have a potential to cause you more distraction and heartache. @@FarmUp
Clearing the bushes around and cuts wl help.about placing the buckets in the chicken house not a gd idea.it wl instead trap the chicken upon climbing.all the best n sorry for the menace bro.
I believe you will need multiple stages of defense. Glue traps on inside, bait stations not just bait to protect your pets, co2 traps from good nature, and of course cats
what is the saying... the man had a rat problem so he got some cats. the cats ate the rats but then the cats were the problem. Then he got dogs and the dogs chased away the cats but the dogs were the problem. So the man got a lion and the lion got rid of the dogs... the lion was a problem so the got an elephant and the elephant got rid of the lions... then the elephant became a problem crushing everything and the rats came back and chased away the elephant.
They can’t eat meat when there’s chicken 😆😆😆. In my home, I always have like 100 local chicken for personal eating, anytime, I brought in 1 cat 1.5yrs ago, now they are 4. Never seen a rat even once. The cats know the chickens so no problem
We got cats and we now have no rats at all. We literally had to introduce the cats to the dogs for them to get along and now wwe have a rat free home. I'm leaving a link to a video I made ruclips.net/video/PJByZwSHv8Y/видео.htmlsi=OUgpRy-IwE_kn2bq

Rats move away from where cats are present.
But the cat could eat the chicken
@@RonaldRutabatina you can train a cat - but I wonder if you can train rats.
Cats get trained not to eat chicks.
The presence of a cat forces rats to relocate.
Get cats to take care of that problem

Thank you my brother for teaching me always
The traps should be on the outside of the house 5:03
Place tracking cameras and see why your home made traps aren't working
Exactly
Cats do the job really well. It worked for me.
That is my comment ❤
The rats can't eat the sausage.i mean there is plenty of food in store..😂
And the bucket is high maybe dig a hole and put the bucket in and cover it
Loving your new video editing skills
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
Rats are not caught by traps in the midst of much food around
Get cats. Give them access to that store.
Just curious, wont cats feed on the chickens too?

I'll sure try that

Rats are really dangereous for chickens.
Rats so much love maize bran more than any other food
You really need help my bro 😂😂😂😂😂
Where there is food there must be rats all around. 😮
There are also some birds that scare away rats and snakes .I've forgotten the names

Cats won't eat an adult chicken.
Small cat will get familiar to the chicken
I also have problems with rats at my Mushroom farm but some how I've managed to live with them using cats and rat guards
Big big Big challenge Dr.😊
use a sticky mat
Will that really work? They are so many
They dont want to eat the sausages they want the maize and the chicken lol
Why don't you try raising some cats
That's exactly what I wanted to say
I also thought about the same
Cats eat chicken too
@ejoshtech5358 he can train cats
@@ejoshtech5358 cats can be trained not to eat chickens
I am facing similar problem on my farm 😢
what about cats..will it disturb the chicken
I agree with the cat when you have the cats don't feed them too much or wlse they won't work. Adog, but the dog may interfere with the chickens

The chickens may eat the poison.
Sorry Doctor 😢
Do cats eat chicken? Maybe you can employ them if they don’t. Am no farmer, so just a random idea
Ya they do but you can train them
The dogs always eat the cats...I've tired that too
Cats would be the best option but i don't know how cats and chicken would mix.
Hardware cloth they cant fit if you use it
In your traps put some peanut butter,it attracts rats on traps.
From Nigeria 🇳🇬
Use black pepper around your structures and get cats
Use bromatole. Do you have any contact in Kenya to send it to you? It is way cheaper than Lanirat but works very well. How can i have it reach you?
Mmmh that terrible...... But what made me to laugh is you suggesting that rats will come only from that Side 😂😂😂
Such is what I thought
Get cats but be careful, they might eat the chickens
Get cats,they help in catching the rats.
Have 2 -3 cats. Not only would u have no more rats, u wont get snakes.
You should keep some snakes
You tried everything and you allowed us to suggest cats. Rear some cats it has worked for me my house. I believe they can assist even the store. Rats attract snakes be careful.
Keep cats ,they will kill or scare them away
Any other suggestions apart from cats 🤔
I know. The dogs kill the cats. That failed
Then try moving the dogs out to a different location for a short period of time and then get some cats again. Get kittens, grown cats have a potential to cause you more distraction and heartache. @@FarmUp
Will cats also eat the chicken 🐔 too? Because cats are better security against rat
Or you can use MP player and record cat sounds and Play it in the chicken pen at night
interesting idea
