That's my largest fear with regard to poultry...getting them to eat
the right things. (Next largest: who feeds them when I go on a week

We are making efforts to improve that over time. I expect that in
three to five years we'll have enough animal diversity to keep slugs
from being a problem. But I want to eat potatoes until then :)
