Feeding a hen to a ferret

[JordKil 0]

My uncle has a couple of left over hens from his farm (killed already) they arent plucked or anything and he asked if my ferts would eat them but Im not sure. Do you reckon 2 hobs could manage one between them??

 

Thanks

they'll eat it alright, it might take them a couple of days... mine will eat an entire partridge in a day...

Two decent sized hobs would take care of a hen before it turned to "foul"

If you are worried just split the hen down the centre with a cleaver, feed one half and freeze the other.

Shame to turn down good ferret food after all.

YER NO PROBLEM WITH A HEN, IVE FEED WHOLE TURKEYS TO FERRETS BEFORE.

My mate at work's neighbour had ferrets escape in to his garden, killed 6 of his show hens, and partially ate one of them, so I know for definite that they like chicken.

Throw it in whole, it won't last two days with a pair of hobs!, just a few feathers left over!

They may be a little tubby for a day or two though, maybee don't do it if you plan to hunt with them the day after! Lol

when i just had the 2 ferrets they would demolish 2 fair sized rabbits in not much time. I buy the cockerals off my dad (he breeds chickens) as he doesnt want em. I sex em at an early age in the summer and then feed them till about ferret eating size. I pay about 50p a cock for em. good ferret food. hang it by the legs in the house and they will eat most of a chicken. i save some for myself though as cockerals are nice to eat if not too old.
