Chickens are omnivores and will kill and happily eat other animals when they can. A fact that is very clear in regard to rodents that like to steal chicken feed.

That they managed to kill a juvenile fox is a bit impressive however.

This is exactly why commercials that claim "we feed our chickens a 100% vegetarian diet" irritate the crap out of me. Chickens will eat anything that fits into their beak and sometimes things that won't. e.g., young frogs, small snakes, etc.

They didn't eat the fox (as far as I read).
