I loved having chickens, but sometimes you can tell they're little dinosaurs. One time I was doing something near the chicken run, and all six of them suddenly went quiet and dead still. Then a wasp flew through the run and one of the hens jumped about 2-3 feet off the ground and knocked it right out of the air. Another hen ran over to where it landed and ate it. It was all over in about 15-20 seconds, the birds went back to acting normal and I'm just standing there going, "Damn!".
One of my hens came up to me as I stepped outside, but instead of following me around, she leaped at something to my left. She shredded apart a 4-inch long mantis!
And then they give the best eggs. The best eggs are made of mice and bugs
You gotta be careful though because sometimes they get a craving for the high taurine diet and start eating their own eggs. Incredibly hard problem to fix once it starts.
Idk seems like some breading and frying or baking and stuffing would solve the problem lol.
Well yes but then your egg production from the chicken(s) goes down to zero.
