I went outside to see what could have been making such a racket. (It was / They were) a lot of mice. Thanks!

Either "it was" or "*their were", not "they" were.

"It was a lot of mice." OR "There were lots of mice out there".

"It was", because "it" refers to "a lot", which is singular. "Of mice" describes/modifies "lot".
