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

A couple of toads( one rather large) a tree frog, a cigarette filter and just the other day they were taking turns with a freshly killed vole.

Never found a trace of it. These are just things I have seen, can only imagine what has gone by the wayside when I am not around. That's another reason I don't drink, afraid to pass out in the coop and will be nothing but a pile of bones.

One tried to eat me over the weekend, I was in the run cleaning up, I had a small open wound on the back of my calf, took 2 seconds and bam.

One of my girls tried to eat a already popped plastic balloon. Thankfully I saw her, ran over, and pulled it out of her beak before she could swallow it.

Mine eat toads, too! They make the cats foam at the mouth, but the chickens love them!

My hens are trying to eat their way through the door to the coop. They are pulling it apart one layer at a time. I had to check to make sure the paint isn't toxic.

I have also had to pull a stick out of a hen that was more than 18 inches long. She tried to eat it and walked around with a stick hanging out of her mouth and making gagging sounds like "ooh that was a mistake... MOOOOOM!!"
