Unbelievable find in chicken droppings....

[lilmillefleur]

I haven't seen my chickens eat anything larger than a bug...then again they don't free range for very long. How in the heck though? Did the chicken even digest the thing...?

OMGosh! It looks like a snake! I'm wondering if it is, because, I've seen my chicken slurp them up like spaghetti! (literally) Anyone else?

Yeah I've seen mine swallow snakes whole, plus frogs, plus mice.

That's very crazy.

Really surprises me that was in a rooster. Mine would never eat something like that. Anything better than scratch they defer to the ladies and start tidbitting.

I was amazed when one of mine ate a toad whole. Toads taste nasty!

I've seen my chickens eat mice but never a snake.. I saw this video of a rooster killing and eating a Cobra whole, thought it was pretty cool although I could help but hold my breath every time the cobra tried biting the roo

That's amazing! I honestly am a little impressed.

LoL, I don't know about impressed but something,

OMGosh! It looks like a snake! I'm wondering if it is, because, I've seen my chicken slurp them up like spaghetti! (literally) Anyone else?

It is a snake! Completely whole, head to tail. I know of people saying their chickens will kill snakes in the coop but I didn't think they ate them.....

My inlaws chickens killed and ate a cardinal! It got in their coop and we were trying to save it but it kept flying place to place and hit a wall, stunned I guess, and when it fell to the floor - that was all she wrote. I was so upset but my father in law said thats about the 5th bird they had killed! My rooster has also eaten a few lizards and geckos, but I never found their bodies whole anywhere in his droppings.

That has happened to me actually. Just a couple of weeks ago. It was a starling and it trapped itself in the chicken coop at night so I decided to leave it figuring it would fly out in the morning once I opened the doors.. All I found the next morning were a pair of wings and feathers everywhere! These chickens are carnivorous!

YES! And it is the hens too, not just the rooster that kills.
