is is through the whole country or only certain areas? My chickens will definitely be happy, but my garden won't.

So far, it's for the Inland Northwest. http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2010/may/21/huge-grasshopper-outbreak-projected-northwest/

For us, we have not seen many bugs this year. Maybe it is the weather here in AL? I have hardly seen any grasshoppers, or bees. HOwever, I also have not seen many Mosquitoes which is a very GOOD thing.

Two months later.... it's starting. They are big hoppers and the chickens are getting a lot of exercise. The chooks are quick. They have such good eyes too. They spot the hopper land and then race over to about a foot away, then stalk in for the final kill. Some of the grasshoppers are tiny but they get the same treatment. Streak/sneak/kill.

I have ninja chickens.

I've seen all of three grasshoppers, between home and elsewhere.

Just not that many in the city I guess.

I work as a security gaurd at night. We have been over run by crickets and big grasshoppers. We measured some 3 1/2 to 4 inch hoppers. They are every where. The celing and walls sound like a pop corn popper. Now they are starting to smell. Hope they go away before Thursday when I come back to work

Ooh,ooh! I have an idea! Rent-a-chicken! Lease them out as Biological Control Units!
