mine LOVE king crab just as much as i do! and i live in Alaska so it's like $15 a pound. not sure how much it is anywhere else though. i think it should be fine though.

It's not just the crawfish. It's also the potatoes, corn, garlic, onions, carrots, anything boiled with them. The liquid refreshment doesn't hurt either, but is not really necessary. Crawfish boils and Jazzfest, the two things I miss most.

The shells wil be a good source of calcium to the laying flock.

Sorry but I have to disagree. If I'm sittin' down to a table full of Crawdads I want some beer too!

Not to offend anyone, but

I only eat a few types of fish: canned tuna for tuna sandwiches, clam chowder, and fried calamari, that's it. I keep trying more but it's just...hold on....

oh that's better. I wish I did like it but I don't.

So apparently I'm gathering that it won't hurt the birds, but I should cook them or even cook and crack them first I guess?

These are just little buggers, not big ones, about the size of your palm (minus the fingers). The only time we have intentionally kept one is to give them to our ranch cats who are crazy for them but they get pinched a little which I'm sorry, I love my cats, but it is hilarious. Now we do take off the claws for the kitties. The only other time was to plunk the guy into our fish tank but he kept eating my fish. He was in an aggressive tank too! Anyway, when our same sized blue lobster (yes blue!) started to eat fish from a different tank and he kept digging holes too...we put him in with the crawdad (we wanted them both gone) and they fought to the death, the lobster didn't win, the fish were trying to figure out what was going on, and at the end we killed the crawdad the fish ate him, and what little was left, the cats got. Fun day, cheap entertainment except we had to replace some pretty expensive fish that had been eaten.

Hey what you call them just depends on your area

I did put the other word in on my original post for the majority of people that use "crawfish"!
