we just put in a new coop and when we pulled out the old one there was a lizard hiding underneath. One of my hens grabbed it and I watched 5 of them fight and tear it into little edible pieces. They are vicious little creatures haha.
I have 3 young kids who never finish their meals. There's always unfinished bread on the plate after breakfast and/or lunch. I also break it up into small pieces. But I also break most of the table scarps into small pieces to avoid fighting.
I went down the rabbit hole of her site when I first started raising my chickens. I was convinced I needed to feed commercial feed and nothing else. ive finally loosened up and remembered people have been throwing table scraps and scratch to chickens for as long as time can remember.
So now...
