Quick - my chickens are eating a frog they killed. Is this okay? Help!

[guesswhatchickenbutt]

Just went to the run because I heard a scuffle and loud bawking. Looked in there and my BR is carrying around a dead frog that has been almost ripped in two. All three chickens are fighting over it and trying to eat what's left of it.

Should I take it away?

Or let them enjoy their frog?

HELP! I know nothing about chickens eating frogs!!!

Look away . . . look away . . .


Won't hurt them.

 

[Southernbelle]

Yeah, they do that. They love them.

Mine have eaten snakes and lizards without problems. So I imagine a frog won't hurt either.

Thanks! Phew! I can stop worrying... 'tis tough to be a chicken newbie.

They snarfed it up.

Blech.

No such thing as a frog basket, you're fine.

Chickens are the epitome of omnivorous. Mine will eat anything they can catch and swallow. I've seen them steal mice form the cats. It makes me laugh when I hear someone feeding chickens a vegetarian diet!

 

[FrenchHen]

It's not originally mine. The first context was chickens choking on broccoli then others eating mice.

Did you watch them beat it to death first? That's the really coo....I mean gross part.
