Hi all,
This is so strange and was wondering if anyone else has had this happen. One of my hens, Teri (she’s a Delaware), has started attacking and killing small birds and mice. Now I’ve had chickens kill mice before, but Teri will jump and pull sparrows right out of the air. She’s caught 3 in 2 days. She just learned to do this a couple days ago. We’ve been taking the dead or injured birds from her. Not sure if it would be a good idea to let her eat them.
