Bird killer!

[milleryardchx]

I saw my Ameraucana making a mad dash across the yard i go look out there and she is chasing down a little black bird across the yard and she got it! i tried to get her off him but she killed the bird!

Do chickens normaly kill other birds?!

 

[Wolf-Kim]

Yes, it is completly normal. Chickens are very opportunistic. I had hens that would digs voles out of the ground, kill them and eat them. If you read enough on BYC, you'll find that people's chickens eat anything from rats and mice, to snakes, songbirds, and even other chickens.

Chickens are not picky and will kill and eat just about anything they can catch and overpower.

Certainly possible...
Chickens are omnivorous...
Be ware of your eyes and don't fall asleep around them...
You might wake up eaten...

Yea chickens will kill and eat other animals.
