I loved having chickens, but sometimes you can tell they're little dinosaurs. One time I was doing something near the chicken run, and all six of them suddenly went quiet and dead still. Then a wasp flew through the run and one of the hens jumped about 2-3 feet off the ground and knocked it right out of the air. Another hen ran over to where it landed and ate it. It was all over in about 15-20 seconds, the birds went back to acting normal and I'm just standing there going, "Damn!".

One of my hens came up to me as I stepped outside, but instead of following me around, she leaped at something to my left. She shredded apart a 4-inch long mantis!

And then they give the best eggs. The best eggs are made of mice and bugs

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

You gotta be careful though because sometimes they get a craving for the high taurine diet and start eating their own eggs. Incredibly hard problem to fix once it starts.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago

Idk seems like some breading and frying or baking and stuffing would solve the problem lol.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Well yes but then your egg production from the chicken(s) goes down to zero.

If any bird still acts like it thinks it’s a dinosaur, it’s those goddamn Canadian Geese.

When i was a kid, there was this lady who lived on my way to school. Dhe had a nice, fenced garden and two huge dogs and like 10 geese. I was never scared of the dogs, vut the geese were vicious. Sometimes they were on the lose and my way home turned into a survival horror game. They never stopped chasing. Dometimes i took some bread with me to throw and run away. One day they were chasing me i ran like a motherfucker around a corner and threw my last breaf. there was this young family with two little kids, and i was so relieved, because that was an easy way to lose them and at the same time i hoped that they were good runners. I honestly don't even know what would've happend if they ever caught me and i'm glad i never found out. I really miss these fuckers.

Breaf -- it's what's for dinner

Keyboards. Near enough is good enough, right?

[-] Maco1969@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Geese, ducks and chickens had all already evolved when the dinosaurs went extinct. They are all tough hombre.

[-] psud@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Have you not been reading this thread? Dinosaurs never went extinct. A sparrow is descended from the great raptors

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Swans too. Mean fuckers, they are.

...BOK?

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 years ago

If you've ever seen what roosters do to hawks, chickens do do mice or, heck, other weak chickens, then you'd know that they do remember.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I was gonna make that comment, you've got it right my guy.

[-] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago

They really went out on that chicken butt.

~~Chicken~~ butts are great, they make me smile.

Not all birds have forgotten, this one can gut a human in half a second.

And this one will steal your lunch

[-] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

the article says there are no records for that claim.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

No witnesses.

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Cassowaries have a claw on their middle toe that is up to 12cm long.

Im just going to assume it’s possible even if its unlikely.

Wait, floridians are afraid of wild cats?

Alive is what I am motherfucker.

Rhode Island Red or a hybrid thereof (e.g. Golden Comet).

Great egg layers (the hens of course, not the roo pictured) and very mild mannered.
