Neighbor L likes to bring all her kitchen scraps, scraps by the bucketful, to feed the chickens. I, and certainly the chickens, think this is a very fine thing to do. And there’s nothing wrong with bones, chickens are definitely omnivorous.
I did get a moment’s pause when taking a turn through their yard this morning, though…
An intact chicken carcass, picked clean. I knew where it came from, in fact I probably dumped it there Monday without paying attention. But I did take a minute to count the chickens before I left…
They are officially cannibals then.
Ben – Chickens are miniature Velociraptors. They will eat anything that doesn’t move fast enough, just like hogs will.
I’ve had chickens decide that one of the other chickens wasn’t moving fast enough to be not food.
