My neighbor across the street just discovered jumping worms (a lot of them!!) in her yard. DH brought part of our flock over to the neighbor’s yard today to see if they would help eliminate some worms. I would not have let that happen, (so many possible issues for my flock!!) if I would have been asked, but done is done. Anyway, the girls absolutely binged on worms. According to the few online resources I’ve found, chickens aren’t supposed to like jumping worms, but I guess my girls didn’t get that memo.
Anyone else have anything to offer about getting rid of or controlling jumping worms- with or without chickens? All the advice out there now is around keeping them out of your yard (bio security basics, people!), but there’s not a lot out there on what to do once you’ve been invaded.
