Mrs Slats Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 So my ex bats love their slugs .... but after a month or so decided the big fat orange ones were just too much and wouldn't touch them. In fact they would go as far as to swear at me if I put one anywhere near them. That was until the young white stars moved in! The white stars love the big orange slugs And apparently, if the young whipper-snappers like it, then the ex bats have to have it So now orange slugs are back on the menu. and if I find one, it's every chicken for themselves. No more swearing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Clucks-minusOne Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Mine like the leopard slugs and will chase who ever finds one. They don't like the orange slugs either so I send them on their holidays into next doors wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 If your chickens are partial to slugs make sure that you Flubenvet (worm) them regularly. "Cestodes (Tapeworm) are flattened, ribbon-shaped worms, usually segmented. Cestodes use arthropods and other invertebrates as their intermediate hosts. Poultry become infected by swallowing infected snails, slugs or insects". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
