Ran over a bird today- already dead

[Imp]

Was out mowing the lawn when I heard a loud thump. Looked down to see lots of little gray & brown feathers. I ran over the remains of a wild bird, probably a black capped chicadee.
I have a sneaking suspicion the the chickens had killed it. This morning I was watching them trying to catch the little birds if they came down to ground level.

Imp's glad that imps are bigger than chicadees.

So you cut up your chickens food for them??

Spinach with cheerios Imp? ewww yuck!
But then again I'm not a chicken. So maybe that's a good thing.

Always a ton of little birds in my coops and runs. They are perching with the chickens side by side when I open the door then they start flying around. They make a worse mess out of the feed then the chickens do.

You were mowing?

We can't even see our lawn

I went over to my neighbors and peeked inside her coop to check out her new chickens and a flock of probably 100 little birds flew outta there. I have never yet seen a single bird inside my coop let along inside my run. Don't you think that's weird??

Poor little chickadee. If it wasn't dead already it was sick so you did the poor little thing a favor.
