Ewww, that’s GROSS!!!

[chickens really]

Dog Poop hands down is the worst thing I've seen them eat.....

Mine have run around with a dead frog hanging out her beak while everyone else including me chased her to take it away. Yucky

One of my hens (aptly named Bunny) likes to eat rabbit poop.

 

[New2Chicks97]

Oh this is a whole lot of EWWW!

I have yet to see our eat anything but bugs. They do love earwigs

 

[Kale Chips]

Not to be gross (oh wait..) but one of chickens accidentally took a huge bite out of a pile of chicken poo thinking it was a treat I had thrown I think even she regretted that one.

Hello fellow peeps!

I was thinking about this group and all the different experiences with chickens we all have. I’m really curious as to see.... What’s the yuckiest thing you’ve ever seen your chickens eat??? Now I know it’s not always good to have your feathered friends eat strange things, but I had to know!
I’ll get first:
One of my hens found a dead baby mouse( mousling?), and picked it up by its tail and ate it whole!!!!! She then acted as if nothing ever happened!

Again, just curious!

The two worse I've had was have a rooster swallow a small mole whole, and a young cockerel drink septic water

 

[Zinjifrah]

Heh... I don't find any of those gross, except the septic water and chicken feces.... If it fits in the chicken's throat, it's probably going down it.

The day that one of my ducks decided to try to eat a live snake tail first. She ran around looking like medusa for half an hour. Every time she'd gain ground swallowing, the danged thing would gain ground trying to get back out. Oh, and since it was head out... No way I was trying to get it from her and have it bite me.

Frannie my feisty Bantam Cochin had a blast eating blood! Another hen had a small injury on her foot that left a spot of blood here and there when she walked. Frannie thought it was a tasty treasure hunt.

Mine ate a fully feathered, live baby chickadee. Another one is a 2 ft snake.
