It never ceases to amaze me what chickens will try to eat. Molly ate a small brass washer, Annie ate a screw, which has me pretty worried actually. So far shes fine. Shes my buff orp and also has an affinity for the stickers that come on the watermelon or any other piece of fruit for that matter. Molly stole a whole bagel right out of my hand one day. I heard a tapping sound from inside my house and I went outside and they were all picking and eating the ugly grey poupon colored paint off of the side of my house. The one that takes the cake tho, is when I busted all five of them picking off and eating pieces of some VINYL VENETIAN BLINDS that I had taken down and layed down in the corner of my yard for a weekend dump run because my cat from hell destroyed them.
They were going to TOWN on these things. Even with all of the treats and goodies they get they never stop looking for new things to try. Needless to say I have to be super careful now what I leave laying around the yard.
