BIG problem this year! Will chickens eat stink bugs???

[birdicus7]

My chickens LOVE them! And I love my chickens for it too!!!!

We threw one in this evening and our week old chicks kinda pecked at it and it flew away! Maybe next time I will kill it first!

OMG what is a stink bug? my Mom used to call us stink bugs if we needed a bath. I never knew they were real!!!

Oh, they are very real and very ugly, stinky, and destructive. Do a Google search for Brown Marmorated Stinkbug.

They only stink if you step on 'em.

Thank you all for your replies! CHICKENS ROCK!

You know the only thing my chickens won't eat is pickles. Everything else they will eat.

I was picking stink bugs off my arugula seed pods a few weeks ago and the chicks loved them..
now the ducks spit them out.. LOL

I'll have to try the stink bugs... Right now my chicks are loving the craneflies and mayflies that are hatching all over the place, not to mention all the grubs I'm finding in my garden

Tonight I tried plain pasta. A few of them went after it, but for the most part they ignored it. Maybe its because they are only 9 days old??
