If anyone cares -- I can confirm that chickens can find and eat the black and white lanternfly nymphs. Not sure yet if they eat the red ones.

Someone stole eggs from my box. Thank goodness there was no money in there because they would have taken it too.
I enjoy sharing my eggs with the community. I don’t ask a lot for my eggs. Just enough to help cover feed cost. I have had a dozen or two taken before. But nothing like today. They even had the money tin moved. Doors was not latched shut.
We do our own. We process anywhere from 125-175 a year, that is from the breed we raise and it's for our own use. These are not broilers they are a heritage breed. Cockerels are 3-5 lbs and pullets are 2-4 lbs most times. Bantams are smaller.Out of curiosity, do most people in this thread process their own meat chickens or take them to a butcher/processing facility? I'd love to raise meat chickens/turkeys, but the actual processing part has always scared me, lol
How heavy were they?
Does anyone in SE PA have a flock including some Polish, and a wish to have one more? I have a lovely 3 month old pullet buff lace polish. I thought she was sick (perhaps Cocci) and started treating her. But then realized that she was just sad because of being ostracized. Now she is all alone in a separate coop. She is so sweet but my big strong Ameraucanas from Dennis will not put up with a half blind crested puffball.
It looks like he needs a haircut. Remind me my son's crazy COVID-19 hair styles.Aw, poor girl. Wish you were closer. My Nigel would probably love a girlfriend like him. He's the only adult polish I have right now. I can't count the 3 babies in the brooder yet lol
