Can chickens/chicks eat Asian Lady Beetles ?

They aren’t ladybugs. They are Asian beetles. They will bite(ask me how I know lol). View attachment 2078655

Yes - and do you notice that when you squish them, they have a funny smell? Ick. I put these pests on the same low place at ticks. Gross.

If they’re invasive, they bite, and they smell bad, I say sick the chickens on them! If they’re toxic, they probably taste bad and won’t get eaten.
