Janepie33 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 When I let the girls out this morning, I spotted a half eaten pigeon under a bush in the garden. Tilly was the first to see it. She stood silently, contemplating (or so I thought) the death of fellow feathered friend. No such thoughts were in her mind. What she was actually thinking was..... BREAKFAST!! I have seen my chickens chase and eat a mouse, a frog and a multitude of minibeasts, but I have never seen them pick clean a pigeon carcass. Not the best sight to greet you first thing in the morning. One of the girls even tried to eat a foot. Whole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickyhazel Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 You should be glad - they're ridding your garden of a horrid sight (a dead pigeon) and you'll save on food! Hazel, Ranger, Audi, Porsche, RIP Chestnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
