How brave of you augusmomx2! What a great source of protein. It is hard to get over the vibrating/screeching when you pick one up.

After giving a few odd looks and a peck or two, two of my girls steered clear of the one I showed to them in my yard (alive). Now after the other two hens ran over...that poor bug was quickly put out of its misery...

No More cicadas in my trees now...but since my area is in the trees, they got plenty of treats while the cicadas were available.
