I don't think that MY chickens eat their poop... my Dog eats their poop though... so maybe there's just a lack of supply...

Mine eat poop...watched them peck where someone just dumped a load!

That is what they do. Some chickens are also very fond of snakes and lizards when they show up on the menu.

I always laugh when I see the egg cartons that assure the consumer that the chickens were fed a vegetarian diet - because it indicates that those poor birds never went outdoors in their lives.

Heaven help any bug, lizard, etc. that gets in the run with my girls. The BO's are great at catching those big green June bugs.

And are the chickens still eating mice or have the eliminated them? Actually chickens eat a lot more gruesome things than mice--their own poop for example--but, hopefully, it is filtered out before it reaches the eggs.
