I was actually surprised to see one (Americana breed) chowing down on a mouse... but they do actually will eat them. Other chickens may just ignore them... depends on the individual, I guess.
It just goes to show ya that there are always new things to learn. But it makes sense since birds are basically small dinosaurs with wings, many birds eat bugs, crows and jays eat meat as often as they can snatch it, roadrunners and snakes and of course, vultures but I been around chickens the early half of my life and didnt know they would eat anything as big as mice and live ones yet.
