Often as we watch as our hens scratching the ground in our barnyard, we wonder why. If you watch them closely, you will notice they will peck things that they scratch up. There may be a few things I am guessing that they pick up. This includes small insects, seeds, and small rocks. You may not know why they would eat these small rocks. Let me explain: If you are not familiar with a chicken's internal organs, instead of a stomach, it has something called a gizzard. These must have small rocks to help break down the food.
