What happens to old chickens....

So, we had 3 old chickens, who had long-ago stopped producing eggs.  We kept them anyway, as part of the flock.

Things changed when I caught them eating eggs, though.  

Nothing goes to waste at my house:  the carcasses were put into the woods, and I set up an infrared, motion-activated camera to see who might stop by for a snack.

The bodies were there for about 5 days, and then during a snowstorm, the scavengers showed up:

Raccoon

Fox

Barred Owl

I love those cameras! (When they work, aren't out of batteries, and don't get blown around...)
