So I was making my normal rounds through the garden and I had a bag of oatmeal from a chick I was feeding and decided to pick "tater bugs" as I call them from the potatoes. They are a beetle that eats the potato plant and causes devastating damage to them. I picked everyone of them I could find and put them in the bag and shook it up so they'd get the dust oatmeal dust on them, I emptied the bag of oatmeal full of the bugs, the chickens not only ate them, they chose them I've their normal layer feed I put in with them. This is great because the chickens love them and it's good for your crop of potatoes.
 
Mine are maniacs for hoppers, crickets, and cicadas!! My turkeys love cicadas, too, but almost tear my fingers off when I give them some.
