In a Fight Between Goofy and Gross - Goofy Wins

I came home today and let the chickens out of their chicken yard. They like getting out and pecking at new and interesting things - their favorite place is the leaf pile next to the compost bin. They kick the leaves up and uncover all sorts of critters and tasty vegetation.

One of the buff orpingtons uncovered a Jerusalem cricket. The chicken kicked it up and as it landed upside-down, legs waving in the air, the chicken pounced on it and began pecking.

The bug died a slow and rather grisly death, being pecked apart by a giant chicken. The chicken, on the other hand, acted like it was dining at the Ritz. Many other chickens tried to horn in on the buff orpington's prize, but the chicken would grab the bug up and run away with it, peeping around the prize as it went.

The chickens may be silly, but anything that rids us of one of those disgusting bugs is okay in my book.
