Ewww, that’s GROSS!!!

I witnessed a small toad hop into the chicken pen and the lead hen catch it and tried to swallow it. I ran to take it away and she swallowed it.
For two days she acted like a zombie, hanging by the water and not eating.
I suspect the poison on the toads skin probably made her feel ill.
She survived and was back to eating by the third day, though still a little sluggish. GC
 
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.:caf

OMG!!
 
Yeah it was bad. The worst part was taking Gizmo home, completely hairless and quite dead. I wrapped him in a hand towel so it wouldn't be quite so awful. The first thing out of the lady's mouth, "have you seen Gizmo?" I felt so bad. He was tiny and shouldn't have been outside, went through the chainlink fence like nothing.
