Humans are a very fortunate size, aren’t we? A little bigger, and we’d be extinct like most megafauna. A little smaller, and our place on the food chain would be very different.

Dinosaurs, ey?

(Quick edit: As I am not close enough to biology this statement may be incorrect as chickens may not technically belong to the category [whichever level and correct name it may be/have] of dinosaur. In this case I am sorry for perpetrating this misinformation)

One thing to think about is that all birds are descended from a common ancestor that is carnivorous. Every omnivorous or herbivorous bird evolved that diet from ancestors that primarily ate animal products.

Just goes to show that with enough time, life finds a way to make use of biomass all around it, even if it means evolving away from an ancestor's dietary limits.

I agree. It's a struggle based on food availability. The bigger fowl, keep them away from their food, and the smaller fowl, eat their eggs.

Honestly, we incubated too many eggs with too small of an enclosure. They're getting better, also winner winner chicken dinner
