Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and predict a huge variety of answers.

Wonder if we'll see that 400-ingredient organic hippy recipe?

Hmm... I know chickens are carnivores, but it probably would take 399 other ingredients to turn an organic hippy into a yummy chicken feed. Won't the authorities come looking for them eventually? I think there are laws against that...

This is the picture I post when I get into a vegan chicken argument. This is a Shamo hen that weighs about 9# and this is not a mouse, it is a rat. I dont need an outside cat.

great pic. Mine run around the yard with mice, chipmunks, moles and snakes on a regular basis. That pic is perfect!

Same here! My black australorp caught a snake that was almost 1 foot long and ate it. Sometimes I don't see how they get it all down.

I love that pic! She has such a great look on her little chicken face! And if you go to the link in my sig Chicken & Mouse you can watch some video of what they do with a mouse... but that's the best pic Walt!

hey wait a min. i am a hippy. a pure breed one at that. my mother and dad were both hippy people, man. i don't want to be chicken feed. i won't be good chicken feed. your may find your chickens in the middle of your field continplating their spiritual being if you feed me to them.

I saw a story in here quite a while back, (I have swiss cheese memory so I've lost all the details), but the jist of it was this hen who had eaten a frog but not completely swallowed it and she was running around with this crazy green 'fu-man-chu' mustache.
