This chicken is a gluttonous dinosaur

Maybe it’s Cochin bantams that have a taste for poop… I have the same problem and a very similar breed (pekins)

My rooster even tidbitted with a piece of dried poop

The grossest thing I've seen my chickens eat:
Grandkids were here and one of them dropped an ear of corn. One of the dogs ate it cob and all. The next day the dog had some gastrointestinal issues and pooped out undigested corn. The chickens apparently couldn't stand to see corn go to waste. They seem to enjoy the gravy too.

Wow! That one ranks right up there! lol

They eat it like chips

Omg! That is so cute!

Is it a horned tomato worm? Juicy if so!

I'm gonna have to ask if you've had one your own self or just observed the juice?

And Ruth - the sounds of her smacking that poor frog onto the brick pavers is cringe worthy!

Sometimes they scream! I feel bad for them, poor frogs.

Had the farrier out Friday afternoon, the hens were really into the hoof trimmings, I had to scoops them up fast and dispose of them, not sure if a hard hoof would cause havoc for them.

But the horse poop itself is fine

In less than a minute that fresh pile of horse poop was tore apart! All for the bits of oats that passed through the horse system and any stray bugs that stray into the poop. Yummy ….?

Not caught him eating anything especially weird or gross yet, but I feel like this Barred Rock chick belongs on this thread? He's the fattest chick I've ever seen!

His best pal is a tiny Shetland chick that hatched with an unabsorbed yolk and is doing well but still half the size of the others and probably only about a third of the size of chonky boy here.

One of my roosters is named Chonky boy because he’s hefty
