Crayfish and Chickens??

[mixedUPturk]

I was just worried about any type of diseases/parasites that could carry on to my chickens.

I use my chickens solely for eggs and chicks in the late winter/early spring (or late spring since one of my hens went broody).

I am moving here before the end of the month and I won't have to worry about the crayfish. My chickens turn their beak away from earthworms.

I used to cultivate earthworms and threw them out to the chickens, but they were not intrested in them.

I just don't want my chickens to get anything from these crayfish. I can move them here in the next few days if the crayfish are harmful.

I just would hate to move my chickens and them have to be quickly killed or killed off because of something I could have prevented.

i live in southern LA. Ive def seen my birds eat every crawfish they could catch for Years with no ill effects. I jus prefer to eat em after theyre cooked
