Whats are these, i have no idea!

I believe your right on what they are

Thank you starrponies, I did wonder if that's what they would be because that's what Google kept saying they were but the pictures didn't look the same.

They are an interesting little critter. Will the chickens eat them?

I am not sure BigBlueHen, I didn't want to let them into that part until I knew what they were. But we will see today

We had some of these guys in the coop and my ducks ate them up, It was long ago so I don't think it will be harmful considering my Ducks ate them and did not get a single side effect. Also I do believe its a Mealybug.

That's good that the ducks had no side affects WaterFowlsPoultry. I guess it wouldn't be a bad thing to see if they will eat them, saves me cleaning them up

If it's a bug my chickens eat it!

Yes mine too! It's always a smorgasbord when we dig up any type of dirt out here. If they see the Excavator or the shovel they will all come running

Some kind of pill/sow bug larvae.
Not harmful to chickens.

Thank you aart, that is good to know
