Some cats really like water: tigers, Abyssinians, Bengals ~ but the cat conundrum is easier to answer I think as they were brought aboard ships from the earliest times as mousers & ratters. The Norwegian Forest is known as the Viking's Cat because they had them on the longboats. Not much to eat @ sea except fish... :sick

So back to the chickens. Why do they like fish?

Mr Google doesn't know why either... :(

It is definitely weird because apparently not all chickens like fish. That mine do is extra weird as I would never willingly have given them fish. Ghastly stinky stuff!:sick Yet from the first time everyone loved it & fought to get the last juicy scrap.:idunno

At first I thought Ribh was on the money when she suggested scavenging. But now I'm wondering about the nature vs nuture line of argument but with respect to taste. It would be both learned and instinctive, surely?

Actually I was wondering if it was dietary? I first gave mine fish as a protein supplement while molting. I thought their bodies knew they needed the extra protein & for whatever strange reason they like the taste.
