I loved having chickens, but sometimes you can tell they’re little dinosaurs. One time I was doing something near the chicken run, and all six of them suddenly went quiet and dead still. Then a wasp flew through the run and one of the hens jumped about 2-3 feet off the ground and knocked it right out of the air. Another hen ran over to where it landed and ate it. It was all over in about 15-20 seconds, the birds went back to acting normal and I’m just standing there going, “Damn!”.
One of my hens came up to me as I stepped outside, but instead of following me around, she leaped at something to my left. She shredded apart a 4-inch long mantis!
And then they give the best eggs. The best eggs are made of mice and bugs
You gotta be careful though because sometimes they get a craving for the high taurine diet and start eating their own eggs. Incredibly hard problem to fix once it starts.
Idk seems like some breading and frying or baking and stuffing would solve the problem lol.
Well yes but then your egg production from the chicken(s) goes down to zero.
…BOK?
If you’ve ever seen what roosters do to hawks, chickens do do mice or, heck, other weak chickens, then you’d know that they do remember.
I was gonna make that comment, you’ve got it right my guy.
They really went out on that chicken butt.
Chickenbutts are great, they make me smile.
Not all birds have forgotten, this one can gut a human in half a second.
And this one will steal your lunch
the article says there are no records for that claim.
No witnesses.
Cassowaries have a claw on their middle toe that is up to 12cm long.
Im just going to assume it’s possible even if its unlikely.
Wait, floridians are afraid of wild cats?
Alive is what I am motherfucker.
shouldnt the trex have feathers n shit too?
Debatable, but the common consensus is that T-Rex had little to no feather. At the very least, the feathers couldn’t have covered all of the body because T-Rex skin imprints have been found without feathers, tho they’re not of all the skin, so there still may have been some feathered parts.
The idea that T-Rex had feathers didn’t come from nowhere tho : We have many evidence of feathered dinosaurs from many groups. The T-Rex is niched within the coelurosauria clade, which includes many dinosaurs that are mostly covered in feathers (and even modern birds). There’s even a close relative of T-Rex, Yutyrannus, with evidence of wide feather covering.
The reason why T-Rex didn’t have that much feathers is likely the same reason why elephants aren’t hairy : Big animals have less problem keeping heat, and may even at some point have problem evacuating excess heat (and yes, many dinosaurs were warm blooded). So as T-Rex got bigger, feathers became more of a hindrance.
I’ve heard that they might’ve been covered in feathers as children, but didn’t grow any more as they got older, so they’d be spread out, not covering much, which is also how it works with elephants and hair.
Rhode Island Red or a hybrid thereof (e.g. Golden Comet).
Great egg layers (the hens of course, not the roo pictured) and very mild mannered.
