I am pretty darn sure they can eat what they catch (they are fast) My concern is that the escapees will either nest in the coop or worse, make their way into my house--especially the pantry. I have way way too many beetles.
I am paranoid about this as a couple of weeks ago I had a brooder in the house--fed the chicks some mealworms and must have accidentely gotten a pupae in there, or a worm escaped and pupated. I found 2 darkling beetles on my carpet--I moved chicks to coop--no treats in the house!
