   I always figured there’d be one horse doing this

     @MeBigbrain Mine don’t, they’re way pickier than this. MOst human food they hate, too. Weird.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot You'd be wrong, actually.
     
     It's not just one, pretty much all of them will do that given the opportunity.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Hold up a live baby chick or hamster to one of them and see what happens.

     @MeBigbrain Done it a lot, they sniff and leave

     Maybe I’ve trained everything that way, I usually present the chicks to everything, the only stuff that does kill them is the cats yotes and poultry

     @BowsacNoodle They’re basically free. The last hatching from one of the hens had 19 eggs under her, and she just up and left them after the first couple hatched. Didn’t have any more to brood them so they all ended up dead and peeped

     is what it is

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Still sad to see. That could've grown up to be a perfectly good tendie.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @BowsacNoodle free? they cost you a potentially eaten egg, and any money you've spend on feeding chickens. a broody hen will sit any eggs hers someone elses, another species, she really don't care, so chicken moms usually end up raising a collection of her fellow flocks children as well as her own.

     @givenup @BowsacNoodle The only ones hatching their own are the free rangers, and aside from the occasional 1/4 cup of cracked corn I throw out it’s free. When we had the high point there were at least 24 hens we could spot running around, they just constantly respawn here

     Things are weird because we’ve sold/given away all the brooders latey as we wind things down. Plus the turkeys kinda put the smaller birds on edge

     @givenup @WashedOutGundamPilot Chicken tractor. PVC is an easy option. Wood is good but sucks if your property is hilly- gets heavy quick.

     @givenup @BowsacNoodle If you have people around you can maybe ask if they got hay to throw away. IDK if they can eat moldy/old stuff, though. I usually just shovel in the scrapings and tailings from the bales. Gives enough cover
