Whats the weirdest thing your chickens have eaten or tried to eat?? - Page 6

This doesn't really compare to the other stuff here, but it was a bit astonishing for a new chicken owner. I went out to eat with my friend the other day. Me, excited that I can now give leftovers to my chickens--reduce waste and save money!--asked her to save the various bits of her meal in a doggy bag.

Put the styrofoam thing out there. When I next went out there, it was all gone--leftovers and styrofoam. I was quite worried lol.
 

Oops. I guess styrofoam's not that unusual. Should have read some more of the previous posts before posting.
 

Mine LOVE citronella candles.  I have to hide them, or they get whittled down pretty fast by 4 beaks.  My buff particularly likes it.

Ive also gotten pecked in the tooth, not too long after feeding them corn which they love (no my teeth are not that yellow :)

My americauna died from eating a roofing nail. She acted hunched up and sick for weeks, I treated the whole flock for cochi to no avail. Had to discard the eggs for weeks,ect,ect. I had no idea what did her in until a necropsy was done. Roofing nail imbedded in the gizzard- must have been there a very long time because it was cysted over and half way corroded to nothing...

I came out to do chicken chores one morning, and found a sparrow in my garage. I finally chased it out into a bush and left a little feed and water in the bush hoping it would recover. About an hour later I was inside at the table on the computer and saw a couple of my hens run past the window..."uh-oh...what did they find..." Sure enough, my RIR, Ginger had gotten ahold of the sparrow and was running around like crazy with it while the others chased her. I didn't particulary want to watch her devour the sparrow so I caught her and wrenched the sparrow out (which was even still clinging to life). I don't think it survived long though. Poor thing, so much for my rescue mission.

Mine love to try to eat my engagement ring.  They will also peck at my naked toes.

My girls walk up to the back french-doors and peel off and eat all of the Weather Stripping off of it  . Not really much I can do about it... except maybe stop replacing it every time they destroy it!

The weirdest thing my chicken tried to eat?Hmmmmm.....ME!

My pants

Mine like to eat rocks, but its there grit.
