I've just been down to my chickens and saw one of my black rocks (Florence) grab a dragonfly and started to run with it hanging from her beak, everyone chasing her  . I tried to catch her and finally she dropped the dragonfly  :blink:. The dragonfly is obviously damaged and I don't think it has long to live  .
Yuck!!!   .  I would never have thought chickens would try to eat dragonflys!!!

What's the most interesting being your chickens have ever eaten?

Oh, I'm sorry but I had to smile.  When I saw the thread title I thought that you meant a dragonfly was actually eating one of your chickens!

Mine seem to eat anything but haven't seen them go for anything too weird.  Their absolute favourite and the one they go most crazy for is grapes.  Oh they love them.  I have to try to make sure that I throw enough down so that everyone gets at least one.

Sorry, it does sound like that doesn't it  . Sorry to disappoint    . I've changed the heading  .

they just love eating mice and frogs  . Often the only time you can tell one has caught a mouse (apart from the rugby scrum that follows as they all want some  ) is when you see a tail hanging out of the beak

That's unbelievable  .  Are you saying that your chickens eat frogs and mice Joy? Wow!!!!

all chickens will given the chance - chickens are not the nice fluffy things that people think they are  They are mean killing machines when they want to be

I've just popped outside to check on the dragonfly, but it has passed away  . It has lovely markings, yellow, green and black. Poor little guy

Mine love moths! won't touch slugs, worms or snails, (very fussy eaters) but a nice dry powdery moth is a different matter entirely.

They do love a tasty froggy snack
