Chickens routinely hunt, kill and eat mice
Have you noticed that the Kroger brand "organic cage free" eggs state that their chickens eat a vegetarian diet?
Well chickens aren't vegetarians...and a healthy chicken has a diet of both plants and animals ( insects included ).
Our chickens routinely hunt, kill and eat mice...in fact, they often steal them from our cats if not taken fast enough.
Here is a short video of some instances...thanks for watching!
I had no idea that chickens are doing stuff like this :D holy moly those cute guys are predators :DD
Think Raptors with feathers and no teeth, lol
I learn so much from them
I guess chickens are a good form of natural pest control
Yes they are!
I have gotten aware of this a few weeks ago and was completely stunned. Did you observe all these incidents in the video? Man you have some good hunters. Have been seeing similar viodeos on youtube after I researched into this. The mini raptor comparency is quite accurate I guess.
Yes, I see them hunt all the time. They have vision that is better at locating and tracking moving targets.
Their attitude towards each other is also very interesting.
I was walking out to the chickens one day and scared a frog towards them. It vanished faster than a cheesy poof in the hands of Cartman.
that sounds fun to watch!
It was like watching toddlers play ‘herd ball’ soccer.
