The babies got their first live grasshopper today. I found it while
watering and after smacking it with a shovel two or three times (damned
things are TOUGH) to stun it, I tossed it in with them. They all came
running over...
...and stood on it. So I shooed them away a bit and flicked it around with a stick. They pecked excitedly...
...at the stick.
By
now I'm scolding them and the big chickens in the run next to them are
yowling loudly and going INSANE because they know EXACTLY what to do
with a damned grasshopper. The grasshopper, no fool he, is being
perfectly still.
Finally the hopper made the ultimate mistake and opened his wings, trying to fly...
Georgia thought he was yummy.
But
he's still young, so he didn't call the girls. He ran off under the
roosts and gobbled it down. Though grasshoppers being very spikey, I
could tell it kinda stuck going down...
