Oddly enough, I watched one scurry across the run one day, figured it had about 3 seconds left to live, and then the chickens that saw it, ignored it.
Perhaps they don't taste good.... 
I need some of those dung beetles here! Guess I'd have to wait til summer. Then what...try to catch them all & bring them in, set up in a terrarium over winter?

But the beetles have such a variety of poop to choose from around here, I can't depend on them to stick with cleaning up just chicken poo!

I'm not kidding either...I've had successful mealworm farms & Butterfly terrariums for years. Dung Beetle farming... might become my next thing.
Sure why not? Their "food" might be a bit of an smell issue though, that breeder tank might need to stay outside Starter pack, very cool! Just add poop!
Got plenty of that!Starter pack, very cool! Just add poop!
Imma buy some so the dung beetles eat the poop. Then the chickens eat the beetle. As long as the beetles eat the poop first and cleanit all up!Got plenty of that!
Chicken pens & compost area...my beetles would be so happy!
Just cause you eat
We have the black ones and the rainbow scarabs - pretty bug for a gross job!
doesn't mean you gotta look like sh....poop.
