Cat poo

OK this is not a good thing: My neighbours cat has taken to messing in my garden (and burying it), I keep chasing him off but he must be doing it at night.

Anyway, twice my hens have dug up said poo and eaten it.

As soon as I have noticed this I have stopped them and cleaned it up.
Is this normal behavoiur from hens?

if I don't pick up my dogs pooh quick enough (or miss one which is quite difficult as they are giant breed dogs) then the chickens pounce on it (why do we not have a vomit smiley??). Cue me to quickly produce a poop bag.

In an effort to complete the circle of life, my chickens also eat any dog poo that I miss during daily clean-ups, but the dogs also quite like eating chicken poo!

Raven, hens will eat just about anything (except mine don't like lettuce, cabbage or uncooked carrot!).

The way they chase mice and frogs is really quite

lol!
