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. 👍🏼

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.

I have not laughed this hard at a garden video.. ever. Ty

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?

Does anybody else just want to hang out with this guy? Am I right or am I right?

This channel is pure gold. Subbed.

love your style! And simple solutions!

🤯That's alot of beetles. What a great idea. Thanks

I’m so glad I found your channel!

Wild turkeys have been eating the tops of my bean plants because they have japanese beetles on them I discovered

Starting my gardens on new property. My issue may be Stink Bugs. Moved here last Sept, saw the SB's and starting to see them now [[including the one I set my plate of Easter Ham on, well smelled it then saw what remianed.]]

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?

I loved your video brother. Keep creating more

Brilliant idea!

Another awesome idea!

Bobbing for beetles😝

That is awesome about the chickens because most birds dont seem to eat them

Bobbing fpr beetles!

You truly are a genius!

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🙏❤❤❤

Idk why this video made me so happy but it does 😁

Fantastic video!! Subscribed! One question... Always thinking sustainability, and when Amazon and big box stores eventually disappear... How long does the attractant last? And is there anything else that can be used as attractant when we can no longer buy it? 🤔

Ur awesome

How old do your chickens have to be to eat them? FYI love 💕 your sound effects.

cute chickens

What do you do with the remaining....beetlejuice?

Chicken sushi!

❤❤❤

Did anyone ever tell you that you are a bit like Michael Ironside?

More content!

Aw please come back to YT. Where are yoooouuu?

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.

What about your worm short video?? Were they maggots? I thought i could find it, but nope

Is there really a difference btwn a beetle trap and a fly trap? (Bags)

Gratuitous beard scratching 😂

Six of one, half a dozen of the other

Have you heard of Dimethylformamide?

Guineas will take care of all you Beatles if you raise them on your property. As long as you don't have neighbors close by, and you don't mind their noise, they can also be great watch dogs.

I filled 13 of those bags during 2022! My chickens wouldn’t eat them!

These little stinkers attack my grapevines, but most of them pay with their lives.

My eggs tasted like ribeye.

😅Nice opening. 🤮🤣

I love animals and I love chickens but once I learned they love those beetles, I decided to get some chickens. Their run will be underneath the grape and Virginia creeper vines EAT THEM UP YUM

Your intro got me wondering

I would empty it every two days as they avoid the bags yesif they really smell like their DEAD brethren

Ewww, glad to be where they are not.. snails are bad enough..

Disgusting, but good to know.

I toss the daily drowned beetles into the grass and my flock will eat them like that. No traps, just brushing into the jar of water with a bit of dawn.
