I thought something got ahold of one of the chickens. After checking them all really good my husband found the remands of the poor dove.

And the stupid things nested right above the chicken run this year again

Really you didn't learn the first time

Just saved a Noisy Minor chick which was on the ground this arvo. I bet if I hadn't that would have been the last of it. I garentee nothing though, stupid things never stay in the trees so he may be rescued a few more times or get eaten.

@Chick or Treat Welcome to BYC! I know it is a bit late but better later than never. The grossest thing that I have seen them eat isn't bad but worms. They aren't free range.

@FarmerGirl101 same! Where we live, we can’t risk free ranging.

My girls killed and ate a baby grackle that fell in our yard. They eat the lizards too

Neighbor's yorkie puppy, I think they thought it was a rat "I did too until I saw the pink toenails". Worst Tibetan sky funeral ever! Luckily they only had it a few days so they wern't too attached yet and I got the task of explaining that chickens aren't just into plants and grain.

Ok, you asked for gross......

I used to keep my chickens with my horses and once when I was cleaning one of the horse's sheath, a chicken stood waiting below and ate all the disgusting chunks of smegma I removed..... yes that smelly cheesey stuff that builds up around male horses willies.
You gotta love chickens!

That is GROSS

Man now I feel bad I told ya'll about the puppy. They did get a new dog, a bigger dog. Yes my girls did semi eat a puppy about the size of a squirrel, like I said I highly doubt it registerd as a dog to them they probably thought it was a rat or a squirrel. They chase and will dispatch both if they can catch them. I apologised profusely even though it was in my fence. I still feel terrible about it even though it was a couple years ago.

Don't feel bad. It's the reality of owning chickens and the puppy was in your yard. Chickens are predators when you get down to it. I think this surprises people sometimes.

Yeah. My street is on patrol by animals so yeah. Plus we have them checking out our yard so no free range for them!
