Hmmmm. Was I wrong?

Ok. My hens and roos have already had a pretty good haul of treats throughout the day but I do like to spoil them. So after dinner today we had a mostly picked over turkey carcass. Although my wife's family thought it was weird to the nth degree I opted to give the carcass to my girls to finish off. I've rarely seen chickens picking at something with such enthusiasm as I saw with the remains of the Thanksgiving turkey?

Oh well. Karma might just come around and whap me on the back of the head for this one.

That's one thing I like about chickens you can just about feed them anything and they'll turn it into fertilizer or an egg. Now that's karma.

i don't see anything wrong with them eating turkey. Yes they are both avians but they are not closely related.

It does seem a bit....icky....but hey, we eat other mammals so why not a chicken a turkey??

Good steward ship on your part. Let no substance go to waste.

Ours went after that turkey carcass like white on rice, ten minutes later nothing was left.

As long as you didn't hear them say "Hmmm...tastes like chicken!"

Nothing wrong with that... I still haven't done it, but am so new to the chicken world.. I had to get over eating eggs and my chickens first...
Some day, I will allow it. Just got to get over a few thing first!

Umm, I hope it's not wrong, just think how awful I am feeding them my roast chicken carcasses. Waste not, want not, and they love it. Literally everything likes chicken apparently.
