The Carnivores in Coop One

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 

I had a few hamburger patties left over from a family cook out and decided to give the gals  a treat.  I wasn't sure what they would do.  I tossed a piece in the coop and chaos ensued.  Everybody had to see what that was.

 

 

 

They know something's up when they hear the crinkle of plastic.

She gets a close look at what she has.  "What the heck is this?"DSC_0036.JPG

 

Stan's wattles wave as he frantically tries to see what the girls are mauling

Leggs gives the morsel a fling just in case

Stan arrives to assist her in killing the morsel of food.  He stomps his foot, trills loudly, and picks it up

The sharks circle as she eyes it again before eating it.

Stan chastises a pushy hen

Then struts off with a wave of his wattles

Then crows to all who can hear just because he can crow

Once the food is gone, the triplets get to work on grooming themselves

I like your chickens. They look cool!

 

I thought feeding them meat would make them into cannibals. They won't start eating their chicks?

Occasional meat won't hurt chickens.  And since I don't plan to raise chicks around them,  I won't have to worry about cannibalism.  

 

Thanks for looking!

OMG......... i am crying here.... so funny!!!!!!!!! I love your babies so much! it is so awesome to see your pictures of them.

 

Nice chicken lingerie as well! i have the same one for my Sandi! 

I looked at all the caged animals in the barn...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness, and betrayal. And I was angry."God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly, "I have done something," he replied.  "I created you."
