my chickens ate a pregnant junebug, is this bad?

[fushalilly]

There were TONS of eggs in it that looked like rice grains. They ate the ENTIRE junebug and Im scared they will get parastites or something!

All they'll get is more protein.

YUMMY BONUS!

bad for the bug but good for the chicken.

I thought I read somewhere chickens would not eat junebugs. We have a ton of them but never offered them to the birds as I did not think they would eat them.

I know I need to get rid of two roosters. I just have not had the heart. Plus I like them all and am having a hard time deciding which one to keep.
