We pick the beetles off of our grapes and roses and feed them to the chickens and turkeys, who have learned to come running when I come in waving a J. B. trap. To save labor, I'm planting fruits near the bird yard and once I get a predator resistant fence up plan to turn the birds loose to eat more grass and critters. I suspect it will be easy to teach the chickens to follow me around for beetles, harder with the flighty heritage turkeys.
