I remember my grandma once told me that the only reason her father used to own chickens was because they kept the snake, mice and mole population at bay. Now I kinda get it.... I guess they are tiny dinosaurs.
@@bunninsula5849 chickens mostly eat grain because its the cheapest way to feed em when being raised by humans, in the wild they eat everything that moves and will fit in their mouths. bugs, mice, rats anything.
Because they're idiots at most, and get spooked easily. I lived on a farm, if you played chicken with a well chicken you could bet it would get scared... and then seconds later you'd be running for dear life.
YEEEAH...I KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, BUT I LOOKED INTO IT, AND ITS PRETTY WELL DEBUNKED, NOW...WITH THE SIZE HELLZ YEAH, I THINK THEY MAY HAVE GOTEN A LITTLE BIGGER, OR THERE WAS A LARGER BREED OF COCKS...SURE...WHY NOT, HELL JUST 100 YEARS AGO MAYBE....WHO KNOWS
Yep. . . .you know it. What you see here (from a heritage pea hen/grouse/silkie/ game hen// pheasant farmer over 15 year) is the promotional opportunity for the hens near the bottom of the pecking order making the most dominant fuss while rooster and the boss hens look on. . . if the lower hens do well and procure food for all, she will rise in the rankings.
I worked on a farm that had chickens, and I can do one better. They found a snake. What they did was they surrounded the snake, and pecked at it till it died. Then they ate it!
since when are chickens meat eaters? In any case, here I felt sorry for the mouse. It didn't do them any harm, but they pecked at it. Thanks G-d it got away in the end.
That how chickens are very curious, but they keep their distance in case they have to run, I know some people are upset about them attacking that mole but that's nature for you its scary, If the mole stopped moving they would lost interest and walk away and as soon as it started moving again they would run back to it, I've seen it many times, that's how chickens handle things.They beaks is they hands, if you think that's cruel, then you don't want to see a hen with chicks defend her babies, they will battle anything that comes near which looks like a threat, even humans. growing up as a kid in the Caribbean my mother had hens and believe me when i say when they had chicks nobody went into the yard near them and it was a big yard. not even the dogs or cats or even other hens only the roosters would go near the chicks and sometimes they would get run off by the hen after a while.
Who cares if it's nature, you say it like it's not an evil sick game being played out by poor starving animals. nature is wrong, and people like you condone it like it needs to be preserved. crocodiles eating humans is ALSO NATURE, so i guess you wouldn't want to be saved, i'll stand there and film you being eaten alive and upload it on you-tube so your misfortune can be laughed at and called (oh it's just nature) lets admire it.
That's quite arrogant to call nature "wrong'...... Us human need the restriction of law, ethic etc. because our society is way too populated and complicated, we need control so most people can live peacefully. (Cruel competition still exist though) But apply to other species? Nah, don't think so. Are you expecting that we turn all other animals to civilized populations? Lion peacefully playing with gazelle? The world of Zootopia is veeeery hard to achieve. Also, accepting the law of nature has nothing to do with survival instinct. It is also nature for prey to struggle and to escape, isn't it? Just like the little rodent in the video. In your example, accepting nature only means that the hunting crocodile does not violate anything ethical--because the truth is, wild life doesn't need inter-species ethic to survive. If it's useless, it won't exist. Though, understand nature still doesn't contradict the fact that the prey (or the victim, as you like it) wants to escape. On the other hand, if you intentionally upload a bloody video of human eaten by crocodile and you are caught amused by it...... you will very likely receive consequences, be it video deleted or personally accused to be insensible. Now that's not nature, that's human society.
I got bored half way through you answer, as by then i could tell you are one of those can't see the outside of a box types, i will not waste my time on you.
dinosaurs..... i heard ccommotion coming from my coop one night. go down there to see a opossum in the coop. no chicken blood anywhere, all opossum blood. lol
This reminds me of some turkeys my uncle used to have, The turkeys would always get really close when I was feeding them, and one day I was kind of relieved that they did. One day I found a mouse in the feed, and the turkeys were there. I tipped over the bin just enough to let the mouse get out and the turkeys went CRAZY! I didn’t expect this to happen but one of them swallowed the mouse whole!
I absolutely love this video, how happy and curious they are, I love the way they are being treated! Its great to see them roaming free instead of on a farm in a small cramped cage, stacked 15 high, my heart goes out to you guys great job!!!
Chickens are viscious beasts...that is why I LOVE them. I bet that yard is about 99.9 percent free of pests and vermin thanks to the cluckers (chickens).
I had 10 chickens. No vermin. No snails, no caterpillars, no bugs in my garden. Lovely healthy free range chickens. Within local by laws. Neighbours complained bitterly. So I rehoused them. I do miss them. Now I have an explosion of snails ( chicken chocs) and 🐛- hard to keep an organic permaculture going without a chook or two..neighbours were renters who moved the next month.
Yeah, I kept a Sussex Roo, but he ended up being really nasty and attacking people. So I got a Plymouth Barred Rock Rooster from a friend, and let a hen hatch out 3 eggs from him this spring. That was fun to do.
I have a photo of my dad with his Barred Rocks: 1927. Hard to believe they were once one of the most popular farm breeds. And you didn't keep birds in those days that didn't pay their way. You couldn't afford to.
I had a frog that lived at my kitchen sink in an RV years ago for two seasons. Then I rescued so.e chickens and watched one eat my frog. Not so nice having gotten used to the little kritter. Speaking of critters, lost another's one today. My Chaweener dog passed on today. We had about 6 years together. He was amazing. And he ate mice too. I'll miss that in him.
I kept waiting for humanity to step in and rescue the mole, I was sorely disappointed.Moles have very poor eye sight it must have been terrified with all those specks and throws Not impressed at all!
Well one day you ladies will wake up and realize voles are invasive and annoying, whereas chickens are beneficial to have around (they eat ticks, vermin, bugs) and this is just how life works. You save the vole from the chickens and something else will eat it.
Boohoo my feelings hurt cause an animal died! How about you go save the elephants from the poachers instead of complaining about chickens pecking a mole? Snowflake
The title of the video is ‘Chickens find a mouse’. This is what happens when chickens find food. If they can, they will kill it and eat it, This is nature, the chickens are not trained or forced to kill and it, it is their instinct. Please, if you are offended, go and research how animals act. This is reality. This is Life. Maybe then you will understand why you should not pass negative comment and raise your flag of indignation. Your views are ill informed and unwarranted.
Dang..they can make a party out of a mole! Too bad people aren’t as innovative over moles...can you imagine? “Hey Bob, quick, grab a beer...we’re gonna have a fiesta around this MOLE we just found! And bring the fam-it’s gonna be a blast!”
Well, my retirement hasn't turned out the way I hoped it would. Here it is pushing midnight and I am sitting here watching chickens chase after a mouse. I should be dancing and drinking fine wine on someone's mega yacht. But no... it's cluck cluck cluck.
I am amazed at all the animal lovers thinking this is cruel. No, this is NATURE,. This is what animals do everyday in the wild. If you really loved animals you would know this. Wait, or, do you really love some false image you created in your mind in stead of the animal?
it's mental (peta) and spiritual (religious nuts) children thinking the world revolves around their feelings, trying to act like captain planet saving the day to feel better about themselves and virtue signal. "look at how good i am. did i deserve heaven/good karma/paradise yet, or do i have to cry online some more to telegraph how 'loving' i am and amaze others with my saintliness?" maybe they will grow up one day. or maybe not.
Actually, it is not nature, it is an artificial, man-made environment. This was of no benefit and should be banned for the stupidity of the offeror, not stupidity of the chickens. Laughing at this, you crossed the line.
Can you blame the mouse? Getting pecked like that will be enough to drive any mouse to want to make chickens extinct. So who started it first, chicken or mouse?
CoolDoob Mice also affect crops, and are pests. If one dies, that wont affect the overpopulation of rodents. Im not trying to attack you, but mice dont have human's thinking of "vengence". Chickens are omnivores, they can eat certain bugs, mice, and even snakes. So please, think about it for some time before typing. Thanks!
The Poultry Feed industry don't want you to know that. You could save a ton of money if you feed your chickens naturally with worms, mice, insects and other tiny critters.
dean howard ? Time to get sober, kid. Poultry feed contains insect and meat protein, but it’s best to give a balanced diet of forage, insects and formulated feed.
