Don't eat that.

I have a row with various berry bushes, my chickens have mastered the standing high jump and can pluck ripe berries well above their own heads.

And yes, mulberry poop is dark blue, almost black. But they are welcome to those.

I haven't had a blackberry harvest since I got chickens. Sigh...

Yes to the stories about snakes. Never thought I'd feel bad for a snake but they play keep away and pull it into bite sized pieces. I wish they would eat mice but my barn cat Marvin does a good job of keeping the rodent population low. But even when he doesn't see the mice, the chickens don't go after them?

as a woman, perhaps the other women will agree.. my nail polished toes.. OUCH

Newbie here! My toes AND ankle tattoo were taking a beating so I bought a pair of bright pink rubber boots! Safe toes and ankles now

I have 5 17 week old chicks and 3 8 week old chicks....the older ones will try and eat plastic wrappers, styrofoam, and paper that blows into our yard. When out free ranging, they will sneak up behind me and all at once, jump up and grab my ponytail, they love peck my toes, and try and eat any freckles on my arms. One of my big girls tried ripping my earring out of the top of my ear as well. My littles have found out that there is chipping paint aparently under the siding on the house, and they will sneak over there and eat the heck out of it

My hens will eat anything and everything. If i smile at them and i am holding them they like to try and peck my teeth and especially my nails (if i have them painted). THey have gone after a dead bird in the yard, it was already dead and apparently they didnt know what RIP means! also when my mom was digging a fence she found this ginormous grub (like 2x the size of your thumb large), and guess what? Down the hatch! dont even remind me about the veggie garden, thats why we were building the fence. And i wonder why my chickens are large!

Toes, even without polish, Styrofoam of course, dead baby birds that fell out of the nest, and stuff out of the potting soil in my plants. I wish they'd eat the flies and the rats!

Maybe they have a no compete agreement with Marvin.

Maybe they have a no compete agreement with Marvin.

Hey, as the property owner, they should run those agreements past me first! But even when he kills them and leaves parts, they don't finish up. I take the remains away; he likes the brains best.

My chicken once pecked at one of our pigs, my eyebrow, my belly button, a rat, our compost pile, and my neighbors tomatoes.

I was doing some drilling and screwing on the chicken coop and knocked my box of drill bits over. You can guess what the chickens tried to do as I was fishing them out of the dirt...
