Slugs !!

Wahoo!

We could rent* out our flocks as "slug exterminators"! Here in the Pacific Northwest we have great big banana slugs - I haven't seen one on the property since my girls started free ranging.

*There is a man on the island who rents his goats out to clear up weeds and blackberries.

If they earn their feed with a new job, why not? I mean if worms have a 'job' how could a beer slug farm be wrong? Sign over the local bait shop would read: Nightcrawlers, Crickets and Beer Slugs. Somehow they would make it into a cooler on a fishing boat and as the day wore on and they reached for the bait...

HA HA

Beer slugs on ice! Nice.

Renting flocks is a great idea. Orchards rent bee hives so the flowers get pollenated. I can see the ad now....

Better get a copyright on that quick! Wonder if Martha would sponser you?

Hmmm.... I'm thinking it could be a franchise type operation. Then all my homies on BYC could have their own franchise and get in on the deal. I'm not sure I would trust Martha. Doesn't she keep some chickens? She might steal the idea and run with it.

By the way. I love that movie, The Jerk, and isn't that particular quote so appropriate for this thread!

Quote:
Serious question here: If your chicken is choking to death from eating too many slimy slugs, can you do the heimlich on it?

Next serious question: If you do the heimlich, would a pile of slimy slugs fly out of the chickens mouth, only to be snatched up immediately by another chicken?

Last serious question: How many chickens can choke on one pile of slimy slugs?

First of all, I just wanna say that this has been the most hilarious thread I have read thus far! You guys should patent some of this stuff! Secondly, the answer to your first question: big fat no! Question#2: definitely! But not before the drunken girls tackle each other trying to be the first one to catch the flying slug! Hmmm…I wonder if that would be kinda like a drunken pile of us trying to catch the bouquet…

Question#3: well now that depends…how many chickens do ya have? Or better yet, how many slugs could a chicken slurp, slurp if a big Cluck could slurp slugs?

Try saying that three times fast after a few too many beers... or beer slugs!
