    How small to cut up food for chickens?

    Yesterday 3 of my 4 hens all ate a small frog. They would each try to pull the lgs off or break it into smaller pieces but as soon as the other hens would see them and try to take it away from them they would just swallow it whole. Couldn't believe they would eat the whole frog like that lol
