Now is was spring and I would prop the doors open to let the breeze blow through the house. The cats had gotten impatient and torn a hole in the screen door so they could come in and eat. Soon, the hen decided she wanted to come in and have some of the cat's food, too. She would poke her head in to see if the coast was clear. Then you would hear the tap-tap-tap of her claws on the bare floor. She would be pecking at the kitty bowl as fast as she could. She loved cat food!
Chickens LOVE meat, cat and dog food of any kind. Ours ate small frogs, lizards, little garter snakes, anything they could catch. I've always thought that if they were as big as swans, we'd be lunch. Chickens really enjoy raw meat, cooked meat, whatever.
