I've had a bad year with squash bugs and have heard that chickens like to eat them. I've sprayed Neem oil and used DE, but it hasn't really helped. I'd like to let the chickens in, if they eat the plants, it won't bother me, since the bugs are killing them anyway. I know the DE won't hurt the chickens, but will the neem oil? Their website says it won't harm birds in the environment, but I don't know if it's counting on chickens eating specifically plants or insects that have been sprayed. It's considered organic, but I want to be on the safe side.
Any one use neem oil but still let chickens into the garden?
