Just found my chickens fighting over a slow-worm, tried to get it off them, but before i got there one of them had managed to swallow the whole thing!!
Its a shame as i havn't seen one in years.. better news, we have 4 mallards nesting on by the stream at the bottom of our garden  |

A slow worm, good grief!!!
We have slowworms at the bottom of our garden and some of them are huge...I take it that it won't harm the chicken in any way? |
