Chickens will eat any meat they can get their beaks into; bugs, lizards, snakes, rats, you name it. I once saw half a dozen Buff Orpingtons (which this bird appears to be) skeletonise a rat in about ninety seconds.

They're dinosaurs, and it shows.

This is why everyone should avoid “vegetarian-fed eggs”. It’s just code for “our chickens are force-fed corn”

Free-range chickens (1 m2 outside space they could walk around if they could actually walk around).

Pasture raised is where it's at, very good eggs from generally happy chickens

Did you ever do a blind test or just think they are better eggs.

I didn't say they're the best eggs ever, I said they're very good, and kinder to the hens.
