It's true that chickens don't eat meat.

Edit: This is not true.

I had a fair sized yard flock for a number of years. I have seen chickens kill and consume snakes, mice, voles, all manner of insect of course, lizards, other birds foolish enough to try to get to the chicken feed, and once one of their own chicks that just wouldn't shut up. They definitely eat meat.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Pretty much every herbivore will eat meat every now and then.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 1 points 12 hours ago

When I go out to plant/weed I’ll open the coop door and yell “worm time” and my gals follow at my heels to get whatever treats I turn up. This is my first year with them and I can already tell the insect damage to my garden is greatly reduced. Thinking about adding guinea fowl and maybe some peafowl next year.

yeah, i saw a flock of chickens descend on a fullgrown chicken who just happened to be having a bad week. they're evil creatures.

Indeed! I remember a story of a wounded pidgeon falling into a chicken coop... Not much remained of said pidgeon, apparently.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (7 children)

TIL while checking my own dumb joke. I guess I just thought they ate seeds, corn, etc.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 hour ago

Have you ever seen images like this?

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Many animals we consider herbivores are opportunistic omnivores.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 7 hours ago

One video of a horse eating baby chickens was enough for me.

[–] Watermark710@piefed.social 7 points 22 hours ago

My chickens eat more mice than my cats.

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago

Cows eat grass and corn tho. Therefore cows are made of plants, therefore cows are vegetables. Checkmate carnivores.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 5 points 21 hours ago

Chickens love eating bugs

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

haven't you seen the hen dino out on a mouse? actually there are multiple videos of them killing mice and rats

[–] toothpaste_sandwich@thebrainbin.org 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Joking aside—is there a better way I could've written down chicken meat being considered a vegetarian option, you think?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Nope, my need to make dumb dad jokes is just insatiable. Sorry!
