Shrimp? Eeewwww. I think I'll let the chickens have them. Actually, I'm
planning to introduce 2 or 3 chickens to my garden this next spring just
for grasshopper control. If they give me eggs in return, that's great. If
not, no big deal, as long as they are eating grasshoppers. Just have to
work out a few details, like how to protect them from neighbor's dogs and
other natural-occurring critters like coons, hawks and coyotes.
