I recently discovered and researched the gypsy moth epidemic with our trees in the Northeast. My kids found a tree covered with the caterpillars so we decided to feed them to the chickens. They devoured them!! Has anyone else tried feeding them to the chickens? Is there a reason I shouldn't? I go out every morning and collect a bowl full of the caterpillars (Gypsy Moth only) and feed them. It seems like such a great system, free treats for chickens and reducing the damage done to our trees.
Any thoughts? suggestions?
