Deer meat.

Hubby and I joke that we have feathered dinosaurs running around our yard. Watching them go after a carcass really makes them seem even more like the little raptors they can be.

I was outside not too long ago, when I looked down in a bunch of pine needles and there was this really fat, squirmy, strong worm! I almost thought it was a snake at first it was so big. It was disgusting!! The thing just wouldn't stop wiggling! Anyway,one of my chickens saw me over there, walked up and ate it like nothing.

I couldn't watch it was just so gross to see it eat something that big! I almost wonder if it was still wiggling when she ate it...

Can they eat raw deer meat?

Eggs. If we have eggs we are not sure when they were laid, we just toss them into the run and they mob around and gobble them up shells and all. They do not seem to care if it is cooked or uncooked. This first happened when we dropped an egg when collecting. They immediately swarmed it and gobbled it all down in a matter of seconds.

Salmon Skin off the barbeque. They love it.

We once accidentally left a trash bag outside, the chickens got into it and ate anything they could get down their gullet. Kitty litter, confetti, every bit of food. One tried to eat a piece of wire, but I pulled it back out. They are kind of like goats I think.

My grandfather used to put a kernel of corn on a string and let a chicken eat it. Then he would pull it back out and the chicken woudl eat it again, over and over. I guess that was Iowa entertainment for kids in the old days.

funniest thing they've eaten...peanut butter sandwich when i dropped it

grossest thing they've eaten...cockroaches nearly the size of a Buick! 3-5" long, actually, but really! *bigger gag*

I just gave mine smoked salmon skin last night and they went crazy for it. The worst thing I've seen them eat is cat poop. My lemon cuckoo orp found it while digging in the flower bed and ate it like it was nothing and I was too slow to catch her.

One of my ladies tossed back a small, live mouse, swallowed it whole. I really wish I had a photo of that!
