Whats the weirdest thing your chickens have eaten or tried to eat??

Phew, I thought I was alone in that. . . . I guess it's only fair - the dog eats their poo. Recycling at its grossest?

My dog's poop and throw up!

my chickens love coffee grounds, and anything else they can get their beaks around

mine are addicted to feathers or anything that floats

I have to admit mine haven't eaten any of the things that you guys have.

once i gave my chickens a grub... it was pretty graphic.
they have also pecked at each others poo ( and they did NOT like it )

New one from today (not really odd, but kinda cute): pecking the dew off of the hardware cloth when they first get out in the morning.

My chickens will eat the weirdest things...
Lizards, toads, stirefoam that came from the beach to our river, the string on my shorts (while i was wearing it!) and believe it or not; dog poop

I almost forgot! one of my hens was stupid enough to NOT lay in a nest, she layed an egg a couple meters from the ground, it cracked, and they had a frenzy on it!

My Buff Orpington, Hazel is a VERY food obsessed/motivated hen. I was going out to the coop one afternoon with a handful of pirate's booty, and a piece fell onto the ground.... it was gone before I could snatch it and hazel took it and ran into the back corner of the coop to eat it for herself.
