Showdown on my patio this evening. The kids thought it was hysterical until I scooped it up and put it in the rose bush.

I love it! Pranying mantises must be having a banner year, there's been tons of them here.

Can the chickens eat the mantises?

Can the chickens eat the mantises?

I would think they could. But Mantises can be fairly nasty, so it might be almost a fair fight.

Hello Smudge and welcome. Where on long island? I'm in E. Islip.have you been doing the chicken thing long? Maybe you've already said but with the craziness of summer I haven't been on much.you'll find many knowledgable chicken people on here? As you can tell from most of the posts we are a bit crazy...
Again welcome
