dancing cloud Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If I trap slugs in something like the Slug-X, which uses beer, is it OK to then feed the captives to the hens or not? I'm not talking the laws of karma here , but the only slugs mine have had so far have been very much alive and sober (and found guilty of guzzling lettuces meant for chickens!). Can you feed them/will they eat drunk and probably dead slugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucknette Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Erm, personally I wouldn't feed them to the girls. Im thinking hangovers! Maybe you could slug pick as well as poo pick on your daily hen keeping job. Best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 No don't think I'd would give girls them either. If they free range you shouldn't have too much of a slug problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The slugs dont drink the beer-they drown in it. I'd feed em' to the chooks-waste not want not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 They do in fact drink the beer, get drunk, fall in and then drown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
