Gangsta chickens take on crows

The day after Canada Geese leave for winter, the crows show up in our county. Millions of them.
This is our first winter with chickens, and I knew the crows would be tempted by the food scraps I chuck into our yard for the chickens; so I readied the .22 rifle. Sure enough, the crows showed up today, but before I could take action, the kids were yelling "the chickens are killing a crow!"
It was carnage, like a nature show. My sweet little girls were dragging the poor bugger around, pecking his eyes out, and basically stomping it to death, tearing out feathers. All the others took off and haven't looked back.
Chickens are tougher than I thought. Gangstas, even.

Thank you for the welcome, duluth. I've been on here for a while, but forgot my username, so had to start over. Oh well, can't buy street cred.
My girls are just your average Columbian Rocks, and red/black sex links, super-sweet little girls that come running for back rubs when I come out with food scraps. Had no idea there was an animal rage lurking under the surface.

The old chicken farmer I used to work for (decades ago) had Guinea fowl that we could never catch. Fast buggers!

Chickens are far tougher than given credit for that's for sure. Gangsta velociraptors.

Careful taking pop shots at game that's out of season. At least crow season is over in my state.
