RE: chooks Posted 1095 days ago Chooks will down mice and rats that get into their pen. I understand that chooks were meat eaters before they became domestic birds. |

RE: chooks Posted 997 days ago Chooks do eat meat (worms are meaty) and are quite savage to small creatures such as frogs and lizards too. They seem to give anything a go, despite having chook food around. |

RE: chooks Posted 923 days ago Try giving them some raw mince meat,they need protein and there is usually a shortage of worms,lizards ect in winter. |
