As a vegetarian, I’m wondering why you felt it necessary to show us a chicken killing a mouse.

Yes, I am down to four hens as my favorite one was killed by a ‘coon.. I want to get another chick or two but have to merge the hens into the flock.. and we have rats which most are down rat tunnels before we can kill them..
My hens are lovely but heartbroken that Bumblebee was killed.. I let the hens in the back where they forage and we have four dogs which love eating their ‘truffles’ … chicken turds.. disgusting but just part of the food chain .. love your site.. thank you… Terilyn

I have a couple of questions! Is it ok to feed the chickens left over chicken? Will this turn into cannibalism? My Chickens and Turkeys are close to 4 months: 2 hens 1 rooster 4 toms and 2 Turkey hens. I know many people frown on them being caged together but mine, where only caged the 1st 2 months with daily access outside. All purchased together. So they adjusted from chick/poult nursery, to being taken outside of there 2′ x 2′ cage daily to a small 10′ x 5′ pen that they out grew, they are now in there 20′ x 20′ pen. I still have them in a pen with the turkeys, while i build there separate housing and enclosure. Question, would they interbreed if kept together? Would the Turkeys attack the chickens if I started to feed them leftover meats? Do these birds become more aggressive if eating meat, any kind, fresh or left over? I give them there daily crickets and they free roam! Thank you so much for your time!

Obviously chicken are free to roam around and access in to vegetation and naturally food the eggs and meat become nutritious.

I have seen hens eat baby chicks. In the past I allowed my broody hens to lay eggs and set in one of the nesting boxes. one time, a mother hen was leaving her nest for a meal while 2 of the eggs were almost hatched. 2 curious hens attacked the eggs and ate the new born chicks. Nowadays I allow a broody hen to have her own provate area to set, and when the chicks hatch, she raises them for a month before I let them back into the “genpop” coop area 🙂
