Okay, so I will sit for 30 minutes and shred old bread into tiny pieces so the chickens won't have trouble swallowing it.
I just watched our old bantam hen, Chrissie (about 8 years old), running around the yard with 3 other girls right on her tail. She had a frog in her mouth, legs sticking straight out sideways about 2 inches from either side of her mouth. One of the girls got close enough to get a leg. Chrissie finally got away, slammed the frog on the ground once, picked it up and swallowed it whole!
We'll see if I ever worry about choking them with bread again!
I know, this is useless without a picture, but it happened too fast to grab the camera.
