Ya I go to a pet store and get like 100 they are 18 cents a piece here. Giving live crickets is insane and not everyone will get one (I tried) I threw some scratch on the ground away from my to get them to back up (only worked the first time cause they caught on quick lol) then dumped half out...
HAHA I would have done the same thing. So shocked she didnt choked or something. Chickens are crazy but glad she got the snake. I am worried about snakes in the spring/summer dont want them coming after the eggs :/
Ya it was quite a shock. I never knew they did that I mean come on the chickens in Cinderella didnt eat Guss-Guss they just took all the food from him Guess I just need to let them be animals. :)
Ok next time I will :) just wasnt to sure about what would happen if the mouse was sick and bit the chicken. I know that Daisy (my mouse hunting hen) is pretty pissy when anyone messes with her food and thats where she has been catching all the mice :) So I guess its a good thing but just caught...
It's the funniest thing my hen Daisy has now caught two mice. she grabs them by the back of the neck then shakes them around and tried to eat them. I dont know what it wrong with her maybe she thinks she is a hawk or something. It takes me like 5 mins to make her let go of the poor things...
