Problems with oriental or Japanese beetles? Turn them into animal feed! Great way of supplementing your chicken feed so you can be more self-sufficient.

I had so many I froze them in freezer bags and had them all winter long to feed them. I called them green popsicle’s for the chickens 😂

First time I sat my trap out the bag was totally full by days end. I feed mine to the catfish “pond chickens” AND the nasty bag comes mostly clean with a hose and nozzle spraying in a fan pattern. I like your idea of a smoothie rather than throwing them on the ground. 👍🏼

What if you hung it inside your chicken coup, unzipped the bottom but had it hanging over a bucket of water so as they fall in, they eventually fall into the bucket of water and the chickens just go have a snack when they feel hungry?

We get those beetles here in WI like CRAZY they eat nearly everything. We don't have chickens so we just knock them off into a large bucket and let them drown then bury them for fertilizer. I hate those bugs.

My first year hens where snatching them out of mid air. Just hang the trap without the bag about 3-4 foot off the ground and the chickens take it from there, you don't have to touch anything all summer long. My birds on a hot summer day would dirt fluff in the shade under the bate trap and eat bugs all day.

For me the chickens are pretty far away from the places the Japanese beetles are munching on leaves (orchard, garden, etc.). So I have to trap in one location and transport them to where the chickens are.

Great idea, perhaps having the trap on top of bucket with water where the chickens are and have the botton un zipped. So all beetles go through the bag and directly land in the bucket. Then you dont need to move them?

My grandfather Moe, rest his beautiful soul loved to feed these beetles to his chickens. He passed away a few years back on his farm property out south. We all loved him anw were very close so it was a hard time for the whole Lester family 💔 He always trapped them in plastic bags and used milk jugs to have them fly into and fall in. One time i remember he harvested what must have been 20 thousand of those beetles. So many that his 30 chickens took more than a day to eat them. Smelt really really bad. Moe. r. Lester. Or as we just called him, Moe. rest in peace🙏❤❤❤

Why not replace the bag with a pipe leading directly to the chickens? No need to empty the bag. No need to deal with re-sealing it.

That would be assuming the chickens and the beetles are in the same location. However, the chickens are out in the pasture free ranging and the beetles are up near the gardens and orchard.

did you feed right away to them? if you leave them until the bags get full chances are that theyre dead and smelly therefore them not eating them. Depending how fast they fill, I'd feed more often.

@tubatuba Exactly. If they start to rot then chickens won’t eat them. Fresh and crawly is the way they like them.
