Hiya,
I would suggest taking some courses through your local wildlife rehabilitation group. Jays require a certain diet and unfortunately rats and mice isn't it. In fact that is more raptor diet than corvid diet. I think it is great you want to help them. Just try to keep in mind there are laws to protect birds and you might be breaking them. Being educated on their diet and housing is very important. Espcially once they reach play pen size then onto flight cage size. Enjoy and good luck
