More on feral chickens

Eric and I could not figure out why our dogs continued to gain weight despite being fed less. I discovered the answer.

As previously stated, Mexican chickens are more evolved. Apparently, this causes suicidal tendencies, as they fling themselves over the fence and into the watering mouths of my dogs. Upon investigation, I have concluded that approximately five to seven chickens a week are overcome by stress and decide to end it all. It has to be suicide, why else would they NOT fly back over the fence when the dogs come after them. Furthermore, I believe if I observed my friends being eaten alive by large canines on the other side of the fence, I would do everything in my power to avoid this fate. This could be simply accomplished by staying on my side of the fence.

Of course, maybe some are just really bad at the game of "chicken".
