Neighbor’s Backyard Chickens
Our take
Oh, cluck me sideways! It sounds like your neighbors have turned their backyard into a bit of a bone yard—literally! Recently, they moved their chicken coop right against your property line, and during a friendly fence-side hello, you stumbled upon quite the eerie discovery: animal bones, including what looks like a small skull. Given the size, it’s got you wondering if those feathered friends are munching on some rather questionable snacks. In the charmingly quirky world of backyard chickens, what’s on the menu can be a real head-scratcher. As long as the smell doesn’t start wafting your way, maybe it’s best to keep your distance and let the fowl play unfold next door. Who knew chicken keeping could come with such a side of mystery?
 | My neighbors recently moved their chicken coop up against our property line. Video is from two weeks ago, but today I was out there saying hello through the fence and noticed a lot of animal bones, including a small skull. I live in the USA, SE state, and these people fit the stereotype of folks from this area. WTF are they feeding these chickens? I’d guess the skull to be possum/raccoon sized. The straight bones are the length of a chicken leg, but thicker. As long as y’all aren’t concerned, I’ll mind my own business unless I start smelling dead animals. [link] [comments] |
