[Chloeross8]

Hey i have a massive problem with slugs going into the coop at night the girls dont eat slugs maybe because they see enough of them every morning i see loads of trails of slime everywhere even up the walls of there house i hang there food from the roof and i hang it higher at night but slugs still seem to get in the food and leave trails on it and leave there water dish all slimey i wash there water dish every day, its so annoying i need to find a soloution that wont harm my girls but stop slugs coming in there house

You can put DE in the bottom of the coop with the bedding. And i have seen other posts that say to put beer out to attract the slugs and kill them. Also hanging the feeder and waterer can help.
