WarrensWorld Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We had a bad shock today we opened the Cube and found a dead Robin under the roosting bars. The half Robin was only recognisable by its head and breast. Chickens T Rex indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 What happened to the other half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 What!? I'm new to chicken keeping really, but how could that happen?! Would a chicken chase down a robin and catch it like a dog would a rabbit or would it have got into the cube? Wow. . . ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalin Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Woah.... I've heard of mouse catching chickens but robin catchers! I must say, my matron goes bonkers about the blue tits.... I'll keep her well clear of them from now on. Can't of been nice to wake up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 What happened to the other half? I would imagine it was eaten by a chicken they will eat small creatures if they catch them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennydavies Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Our girls caught a small sparrow like bird in the henhouse run and trampled it to death before half eating it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Mine caught and attempted to eat a sparrow earlier in the year. It was totally gross and quite horrifying to watch! I must admit I was less grossed out when they caught and ate a mouse, I was just grateful that they were helping to keep the rodent population in check!

mostin Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 That's weird, HENthusiastic just told me that she had found a dead Robin in her girls run today as well , they are definitely out for all the extra protein they can get in this weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalin Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Maybe the red chests have something to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
