Is crawdad eating ok?

[CrockpotsMama]

Hello, I hope you are well today! On our property we have a spring and large creek, therefore, we have lots of crawdad's. I have noticed my hens sticking their heads into the holes searching for a treat. My little " Martha White" has become a professional crawdad hunter. Many times she reaches in, pulls them up and the football game begins! My rooster "Crockpot" loves to eat them also however when "Martha" is sticking her head in the holes, he seems to get very upset with her and will peck her to make her stop. Anyway, my question is, is this good for them or should I try to limit their intake? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

free protein is never bad...plus the shells have minerals

only bad thing is there are fewer for you

If you catch some blue ones send them to me

I'm with Teach on this one.... I only give the chickens the little ones, I hog the big ones for myself. I love mudbugs!
