Yes, I found one and gave it to the chickens but it looks like all the tops of my tomatoes have been munched clear off. Even on the topsy turvies across the yard. I didn't find any tomato worms on them.

HELLO and

RhodeRed10!

I am a fellow Lapeer chicken peeper too! If you are looking for a Roo you've come to the right place. There are lots of good people on here who can probably help you out. If you are looking for a few chicks let me know.

Glad you found the forum. These are some very knowledgeable and friendly peeps

Welcome to BYC. There are great people here.

I have a nice Barred Rock roo I need to rehome in about a month. He's 9 weeks now and I need to keep him a while longer until I can integrate him and his booder-mate, an EE pullet, with my existing flock. He's a cute funny guy and lets me pick him up and pet him, though you never know how they will be when grown. I'm in West Michigan but if you are interested, I'd be willing to meet you half way to make sure he goes to a good home with hens to tend to and not end up in someone's crock pot. If you are still looking for a roo come September, keep me in mind.

i fed my chickens some of those nasty tomato worms cause they were destroying my 5' tomato plants and chickens wouldnt touch them. Coworker said they dont typically eat them cause they are sour tasting...I didnt dare ask how he knew that...

HAHA....I found a big fat one and the girls played keep-away for about 10 minutes until it finally got divided up and gobbled down. They were all about the tomato worm.

Actually, I like seeing the tomato horn worms. They don't eat much more than a few leaves, they never eat the fruit and they turn into a pretty hummingbird moth (Hemaris thysbe). One of the sphinx moths, they are preyed upon by all kinds of critters so I like to give them a break. As adults, they help with pollination.

We still have our company here visiting from Fla.....keeping busy and enjoying the late summer....especially since it cooled off some!
