So my Dad witnessed my two Rhode Island Reds eating a pretty good sized Texas Tarantula.
Is it okay for them to eat these spiders?
Will it affect their eggs?
Thanks :)

I have had my starter flock for a while now,
but my Ameraucana's beak has gotten REALLY crooked.
The top is to the left and the bottom is to the right.
She seems to be eating fine...(she is the biggest chick right now)
How long do you think she will last?
She's about 11 weeks now.
