(Ahem, couldn't help myself) BTW, if chickens can catch them, small furry meat is definitely on the menu. You should see them when they find a mouse nest full of "pinkies".

I don't have much to do with the chickens myself, but I haven't heard any reports of chicken-eating voles. They have so much room to forage it is possible no one's observed them. We used to have a wonderful hunting cat, but she died young of mysterious causes. We don’t have a dog but we do have chickens.

My dogs do, too. I can't say they do much damage here with our heavy clay soil, but we have seen them...and unfortunately for them, they've been seen. Ugh. My chickens LOVE voles. My dogs do, too.
