I heard uncooked grits or oatmeal swells in the ants belly too,
My light sussex caught and ate a mouse once - unfortunately too quick for me to get my camera. They also love everything from salmon heads to beetroot! Basically almost anything, but preferably cooked. Some things that they won't touch raw (courgette/zucchini, pumpkin, cauliflower) they will fight over like piranhas once it's cooked!
They have also recently developed a taste for chilli and sweet (bell) pepper seeds - I throw out the central part of the pepper with the seeds on, and they go mad for it!
If I ever give my girls eggs then I cook them first, to avoid giving them a taste for raw eggs and risking a problem in the nest boxes;
that was a smart idea to Cull those that had learned how to do that so they didn't teach the others, good job!. And I'm sorry you had to do that that's always so sad when we have to take some of them out.I threw my hens egg shells and cracked eggs and it was a huge mistake. I ended up causing some of my hens to start eating eggs. Some of the egg eaters would fly up into the nest boxes after a hen left after laying an egg and they would eat it. I ended up having to cull those hens from the flock because not only did I teach them that but they were teaching others to do it to. I will never do that again.
