Dizzy-Deb Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Does anyone feed them to their chickens as a treat ? I have to admit the thought turns my stomach as I really cant stand them but if they are any good for the girls could get hubby to do it.

meezers Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Yep, mine have them as a treat when they're moulting or looking a bit under the weather. I buy them from the local angling shop , all tied up in a plastic bag.I store the bag in a plastic tub next to the WIR. I start out gingerly scooping them out with a yoghurt pot, but they are real escape artists. On the 2nd day when I open the bag they have wriggled out into the surrounding container, the chooks are shouting at me to hurry up ( they are on the other side of the wire from the container) so I give in and pick them up with my fingers I would only do it for the chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Ewwww the more I think about it i just dont think I can do it, pick wriggly maggots up... I cant even stand the sight of them. Think its a job for hubby definitely. Although cant say as I have a clue where to get any from round here. Think a bit of research is due.
