Installing Indoor Cat Tree

Does anyone know if chickens eat wasps?, i know they catch flies, moths slugs etc etc, but what about wasps?, or are they sensible enough to leave them alone?, or do they not have the same effect on chooks like they do with us?,

I saw a bumble bee land on the side of one of our girls, she took one look at it on her wing and ran off around the garden in a panic. I wished I had my video camera with me at the time.

Mine wont go near wasps - they obviously have an in built panic button that tells them to run away

Mine eat wasps They like brightly coloured things

 

Cheeky ate one on Sunday afternoon and has been monitored closely since, with no ill effect to speak of (not even stripy poo ). I couldn't stop her as she was in the fruit tree run and she is fast with flying things She did eat it head first though, wonder if this was to stop it stinging

 

Mine often chase flying insects around and then just pluck them out of the sky, I don't mind as long as it's not a butterfly.

I saw Abbie peck a bumble bee yesterday

She pecks anything out of curiosity, the other chickens, eggs, me......

 

It was moving its legs but I don't know if it was already injured, or just didn't want to sting her and die. It just stayed relatively still and Abbie got bored and walked off.
