__Do chickens eat meat?__
 * In "The Old Man with Enormous Wings", Gabriel Garcia Marquez describes a very poor couple who barely make enough money to scrape by. Pelayo is a fisherman and Elisenda wrecks her back sweeping floors in the village marketplace. All of this changes when a very human-looking angel falls from the sky and lands in their courtyard. The couple then keeps the angel inside the chicken coop. Inside the chicken coop the chickens start to peck on the angel to search for parasites in his wings. **


 * Chickens do eat meat, but the meat they eat is not from a big animal. Chickens that eat meat usually eat small things like dead mice or lizards( [|__http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_chickens_eat_meat__] ). Chickens not only eat small dead animals but they are cannibals too! So when another chicken starts to bleed, for some reason, the other chicken would go after it and could at one point eat the chicken that was bleeding ( [|__http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_chickens_eat_other_chickens__] ). **




 * Chickens are a very interesting animal because they can eat each other. I never thought that a chicken would eat meat. I wonder if chickens have ever ate a bigger animal other than mice and lizard? **
