Big News in the Chicken World

Tofu ate her first worm and we got to see the whole thing go down. The three chickens were pecking around in the grass (their favourite thing to do) when all of a sudden Tofu lifted her head high in the air with a 10 cm (it was really big) worm dangling from her mouth. She then proceeded to run around the yard (kind of like a chicken with her head chopped off) not really knowing what to do with herself. Clementine and Peck chased after her - not sure if they knew what was going on but they didn't want to miss out. After running around for a bit, Tofu stopped and proceeded to gulp down the worm. I think she was pretty pleased with herself - Lucy and I were a little grossed out.

I think hunting/eating worms helps keep their stress levels down.
