Fish for chickens?

I realize this is an old thread but I had to share my experience with feeding the girls fish. I put a fish carcass (fillet carcass) in the run for the girls to eat and they were terrified. They ran, flapped, screamed like their life depended on it. I really felt bad it scared them so much. I ended up cutting it up into pieces for them and they finally made there way over to it. They weren't crazy about it. A couple days later I cooked up some fillets and they took to that much better. It guess it was easier to rip apart than the fresh and fibrous meat and..... it wasn't staring at them.

As far as the egg tasting fishy I would recommend using a milder fish. I fed them a Wiper which is a Bass hybrid and very mild white meat.
