BarbaraJ Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I went to check the girls water in their run and on the floor was a splayed out dead frog . It was about 6-7'' laid out flat but how on earth it got into the run!!!! there are some small gaps but at the most 1/2 '' been wondering all day how it got in there obviously wasn't a good choice on the part of the frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkspurs Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think some frogs burrow below the frost line in soil over winter to hibernate, so that frog may have been there all winter and come out of hibernation to a nasty surprise!

Janty Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Didn't someone see one of their chickens eating a frog? We have seen Emma catch a mouse, kill it and swallow it whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Pearl used to eat frogs - but I'm not sure she would have managed one that big and she was a big chicken - much bigger that the . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
