    Tomato Hornworms

    Thanks for all the responses on this. Just found one very large one on my tomatoes and instinctively tossed it to the chickens. Glad I checked to make sure, but I should have before tossing it over. The ladies played keep away before the dominant hen cornered it and the others gave up.
