My little barred rock pullet and I both spied a wasp sluggishly walking up the side of the coop this afternoon. Not wanting her to eat it, I dived for it to knock it away, but she was quicker. I didn't actually see her eat it, and thought maybe she'd actually missed it and just knocked it into the weeds, but she didn't go looking for it. So I guess she did eat it. I watched her for several minutes to see whether she'd have a reaction, but didn't see any distressed behavior. So I guess I'm wondering how it's possible that a chicken could eat something like that without getting stung on the way down???? It really freaked me out...
