Wow, that's a great idea. I don't see why it wouldn't work, they could be lain out in a layer on a cookie dish and flash frozen (I think this is the right term), then put in a ziplock bag and kept in the freezer. Just like strawberries, but, ummm, grosser and not quite as good in yogurt

I haven't actually witnessed anything like the grasshopper infestation you describe, chickenfanatic, it must be amazing to see.

I have a lot of grasshoppers at tmy place this year too. I had them like this 4 years ago, and then the other years none. The chickens and the cats love them.

If you go hunting grasshoppers, make sure to put the vid on youtube.

Yes, its so awesome that we can see the positive side of a plague if it's beneficial for our chickens! Chickens are cool! (Grasshoppers, well, not so cool) Tina

I don't suppose you could ship them to me could you?

My reptiles love to crunch and munch grasshoppers.
