Yup, sounds crazy, but I'm thinking about it to give my pet hens something more to forage for.
Buying mealworms or crickets would be cheap as an occasional treat, but I don't want a bunch of extra crickets making noise if they escape from the hens.
Buying nightcrawlers is expensive, but I am thinking of letting some go in a protected area so they can populate and spread.
Ladybugs are cheap, don't hurt trees/plants(ie aren't a pest I mind having around) and probably good for hens.
Anyone else tried this? Any thoughts/suggestions? We have a good sized sideyard, but you all know how well hens can clear out a space
