Found these little critters

Those who answered voles are correct! After the mom went back & forth from the nest a couple of times I decided to sit by it and wait for her to come back so I could get a good look at her....she did & I got a good look. Went to check out the babies again and they were gone Momma moved them to a new spot.

They look like chicken feed, to me.

Adorable little baby voles. Even if they're destructive creatures, they sure start out cute. Hopefully mom moves them far away and they grow up eating weed roots.

I would be very hard pressed to kill them myself...I know it should be done, I know they are destructive, but dang....

This spring when it was raining so much,
I caught a vole in a trap on my kitchen counter.
That was a first for me.

Sweet potatoes too. Sweet corn seeds I think, and they sure are hard on young fruit trees when they tunnel all under them. They sure are cute though.

Way to big to be field mice. Besides field mice are clamped onto mom not left in a nest.

Eat my potatoes from the bottom up, grrr, they are bad this year!

They also eat fruit tree roots...killing new trees

Hate them! Nothing good to say about them!!

I'd have trouble killing them... but no trouble helpfully moving the nest. Maybe closer to the chickens. Maybe a LOT closer to the chickens, and easy to see. Then I'd go inside and have a cookie, because I did such a good deed. I'd ignore the happy chicken squawks for a little while, too.

I'm not much of a killer, but I've seen my birds chase mice. I'm glad that I'm bigger than they are.

Oh. Some of these posts make me sad, although I understand why you don't like them.

My bleeding heart is glad she moved them.

I bet they don't like you much either!
