There's a breed of chicken called the buckeye that will hunt mice and rats more aggressively than a cat will... and then fight over the dead body.

Yep... strangely they're also the only breed of chicken to be developed entirely by a woman. Not saying that as a bad thing. They're also very "talkative"

She bred them to be a "utility" chicken that lays a decent amount of eggs, yields a decent size carcass and as a bonus hunts rodents... I'm really not sure how she pulled that last one off

Probably filled a few rodent-like bags with grain, and slowly but surely the chickens got used to it xD

Nah. My guess is that she found a breed of chicken that was already naturally aggressive and fed them dead or mostly dead rodents and worked on up to injured and healthy rodents. The ones that took more readily to the hunting were bred while the ones that didn't were culled. Might have experimented with breeding different aggressive breeds of chickens together, selecting from above trials, until she found one that would proactively hunt small mammals given the opportunity.

At least that's how I'd do it, anyway.

Natural selection at its finest.

Wow, that would make a glorious mod.

If the stories are anything like the ones I have from my time working at Captain D's, he's probably boycotting chicken itself for the rest of his life. I haven't worked at Captain D's for eight years now and I STILL can't stand fish or seafood of any kind.
