There was the time I saw one of my chickens trying to eat a dead rat but it was too big to get down her throat, and it stank! I had to chase the chicken all around the yard trying to get the dead rat away which I finally did. The chicken stank like the dead rat! My girls will also clean out a coconut cut in half inside the shell. The most disturbing was some white styrofoam insulation that had fallen down from a storage wrack. You would have thought it was popcorn, the way they were gobbling it up. They have also tried eating a rubber latex glove or anything made of silicon thats got a rubbery texture, like a slug. It's super cool though to see them kill and eat an 8" long centipede. They slurp it down like a long piece of spaghetti.
