Chucky Mama Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 My 4 had a fight over one yesterday! I was always led to believe that it is the hairy caterpillars that are poisonous and that other animals know which are safe to eat. How true that is I don't know.

WarrensWorld Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Cuckoos, eat all sorts of hairy caterpillars. Then they cough up shed their stomach lining. We think chooks are well aware of what's good to eat and what's not. Though Violet and Alice were fighting over the biggest slug we've ever seen........
