I'd feed it to the chickens, imagine how many chickens you could feed with a worm that big!

Imagine how many chickens that worm could eat.

Neat! Love the whole personality thing! (Love my boys with personality...)

Oh good grief - there are bucks fighting each other up against my house right outside this room...

Revised assessment - I think it's the wind (which has suddenly picked up). The bucks-fighting thing has indeed happened before, right up against the house, sounded like that at first...

None, my chickens are not dead therefore there's no bacteria breaking them down so the worm can eat them.

My bed is against the back of the house, which is adjacent to the back yard acre. Before I had repaired fencing up (and pre-chickens), deer roamed freely in my yard, as did the occasional coyote and sometimes packs of domestic dogs (either feral or just someone's that got out). One night there was a horrific crash against the back of the house (against my head), with horrible animal noises, growling, high pitching cares, it was horrible. I was frozen to the spot. The next morning I figured out that a pack of dogs had taken down a full sized doe against the back of the house.

Soooooooooo glad I have the property fenced now.

Thinking it was a rival buck, he charged, broke through the glass, and ran around the lobby, bleeding, dazed, and petrified, 'til the guards managed to herd him back outside, where he smeared blood all over the front of the building.

We were really lucky it didn't break the slider. Poor thing stood in the garden all day not sure how to join the rest of the herd that was only 100feet away. Finally came to enough to walk on down with them.

That's for sure. Coyotes used to get real close to the house screaming away. Not so much anymore I guess too many people have moved in. We still don't have a fence
