Live Fish? - Page 3

My son moved away and left a tank full of guppies.   I couldn't stand to flush them into the local rivers or let them die slowly in the compost.   I put them in a shallow saucer with a little bit of water and watched.   My chickens went CRAZY! Twenty fish were gone in less than 2 minutes.  What a GREAT way to recycle!  I love my chickens!

I havent read all replies....but I have fed my RIR's left over minnows/killies from fishing trips.  I hold them by the tail and the birds suck em down.....love em .... big

These are the type of fish I feed....Like offering a 4y/o a pack of sour patch kids....

Yes! They will eat minnows, gold fish, or even a larger fish.

I supplemented my flock with hard head minnows trapped from a neighbor's pond. The chickens will not drown they splash the water out until they can get to'em.

Good protien.

You people are so lucky to be able to feed live fish to your ducks, here in the UK we are not so... I have been told that I could end up in court if I was to feed live fish as the fish could suffer as a result of this, so now even fish have rights! MADNESS  I could even be prosecuted if i was to build a worm farm knowingly to feed them to the chickens, again the worms are protected and have rights..OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

So my poor ducks will never no what it is like to fish, but I can feed them dead fish oh and they are allowed to eat frog spawn until someone comes back with the right to life as frogsSo while I am on this rant, what about the pinkies (frozen baby mice) I can buy from pet shops for snakes and other reptiles. Meal worms, crickets and other creepy crawlies they are farmed specifically to feed to reptiles are you not inflecting suffering upon them!  Sorry BYC members, has PC in Britain gone mad?  Answers on a postcard please lol x
