It depends on their conditions and its the roosters more than hens. Sometimes they just walk around taking little bites out of everyone, sometimes they all gang up and totally consume the weak one, sometimes they dont bother each other at all.

Carnivorous? Whenever possible...mice, fish heads, pig guts, baby snakes, roadkill, afterbirth from cattle, etc...
Ive even heard stories about them nibbling on passed out drunk farmers (ears and fingers mostly)...

Now doesnt that make you want to eat more chicken?

Actually PETA is applauding BK and recommending them to its members (maybe all 5 of them WILL have lunch there). Kinda odd for people who marched and protested BK not that long ago.

PETA is no different than Je$$e HiJack$on, Al $harpton and other RICO terrorists who have forced BK into giving them money or in this case buying a product that will inturn increase PETA's finances for more Eco Terrorist acts!

It would probably improve the taste dramatically.

Back in the 70's, I worked for an industrial sandblasting/painting company. We traveled all around to refineries, storage facilities and factories.

I remember one job in Alexandria (just outside DC), where every big pipe and fitting in the place had swastikas on it. I always figured these were from captured stock, but I supposed the democRATs could have made some graft from it when they were purchased.

One of our members of our church did a little history investigations of what the Nazis sold in this country before WWII started. Steel pipe and the fittings were a big item as well as furnaces (heavy duty ones) like the ones we replaced.

Re your finding, the RATS of the 1930's were in control and could have taken bribes to ensure orders of Nazi steel pipes and other goods. Apparently the Nazi steel industry was going big time to be able to sell these products then.

No one who made the decision to buy the Nazi furnaces at our church was still alive when we found out what they had purchased. I have wondered if they felt guilty of what the church had done or cared less. (those who even knew of the purchases)

My grandfather had a simple rule about trade with enemies or potential enemies, Never buy anything nor sell anything to an enemy or someone who might be your enemy!"

I see PETA/ELF/ALF as an enemy just like the al Qeada terrorists. Every purchase of a BK PETA moss burger sends funds to PETA which then funds ELF/ALF for more economic/eco terrorism against Americans! This is not an vegit issue. It is a simple issue "Will my purchase of the BK PETA Burger fund economic eco terrorism against my fellow Americans?" Only the naive and those who don't care will buy these things when they know that PETA benefits from the purchase of each PETA burger at BK!

Thanks for sharing your find of Nazi steel in Alexandria, Va..

actually launching this cow patty will be good, since I'm sure it will be dropped.

The so-called "veggie burger" is a nasty goopy thing that has the texture of wet toilet paper in the mouth. The flavor is akin to that limp yellow celery that you find in the bottom of your refrigerator six months after you bought it.

I tried a BK veggie at lunch the other day. Agree that 1. Was awful 2. higher price than a whopper 3. half the size of a whopper.

But mine wasn't mushy, it arrived within a minute after ordering, and was so dry, that only liberal amounts of ketchup made it edible.
It won't be around long!

BK veggie burgers taste like stuffing on bread. Nasty!

There is probably no consistency in how they prepare these things. In New Orleans, where I ordered mine, it was probably the first one they had (attempted) to serve. I can guarantee there are few people in this area who will even try them.

They'll eat ground pig snouts, mixed with chemicals and red pepper and stuffed in intestines before they'll touch anything called a "BK Veggie".

A much better veggie burger can be made by going to a natural food store and buying the mix. Top it with some melted cheese, sliced onion, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and ketchup and put it on a good bun.

Then pour yourself a generous glass of Foxhorn Merlot and enjoy.

Three heads are better than one (except at Burger King),
