do they have this for pet rats...

As someone who owns chickens and has had issues with chicken cannibalism in the past. This is a revolutionary product that I will be immediately researching and purchasing if real.

Been a long time since we have had chickens. But We did try a product that made the same claims. It didn't really work in my opinion.

Best to have fresh greens and insects for them to hunt and not to over crowd them.

If they aren't supposed to be cannibals then why the hell does their meat taste like chicken?

I am an eye witness to such an event of chickens eating meat. Not chicken meat, but either beef or lamb.

I saw a squirrel eat an injured pigeon once. Nature is metal.

Chickens will eat almost anything. I once saw a chicken grab a frog and swallow it whole. One of its legs was hanging out of her mouth the rest of the day. She was fine afterwards.

Eggs are also especially tasty to them. You can feed them cooked eggs (very nutritious), but if they ever get ahold of a broken egg and realize how tasty they are, they can start eating their freshly laid eggs before you can collect them.

Hello, God? I'd like to report a bug please.

Now I'm picturing a chicken pecking at a cow.

Reminds me of Batman and his sprays against everything.

Can they reverse engineer this and have a spray that encourages cannibalism?

I have the funniest idea for my next family dinner

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

You dont need to encourage the chickens to eat other chicken. That would be like wanting a spray that makes people like pizza.

Yeah np

Lemmy has now redeemed the second of three wishes.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh shit. For the 3rd wish, can musk fuck off forever?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's the issue with this genie, his form of fucking with your wishes is selectively granting them with the least possible effort. "I wish to be an astronaut!" Nah, try again. "I wish I had a model of the Saturn V?" Best I can do is this picture from Wikipedia

"I wish for Elon Musk to fuck off forever!" Free will or something. "I wish I never had to see him again?" Wish granted, there's now a block button on twitter

"I wish for a million bucks!" I can't afford that. "I wish for a hundred bucks?" Here's a crisp fiver. Bye forever!

Too late, someone already used the last one a slightly dry turkey sandwich

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bummer. Did they at least wish for an extra large sandwich?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They did not, but they did request an additional meat: Lebanon Bologna.

Italian Lebron isn't real

Didn't know chickens ate each other, at least not without frying

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Birds will eat anything if they're hungry and/or bored enough. Eggshells are actually (usually) good for them because of high calcium content.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Eggshells are actually (usually) good for them because of high calcium content."

Given that producing eggs must use up a bunch of calcium, this makes sense, in a "circle of life kind of way

Yep, recycling!
