I can't remember where I read it... I think it was on this list
once... but someone said they were in Hawaii or somewhere similar and
saw wild chickens feeding off the carcass of a wild pig (I always
imagined the reverse to be more likely).  I guess chickens really
will eat anything... which I guess is why they have become so
popular.  I mean the only thing that would make a more cheaply-fed
farmyard animal is us :)
