As a mostly city person my whole life, I'm curious how well do having yard chickens helps with insect control around your house and yard?
I'm hoping they will help cut back on some of the earwigs around my house. We have close to 30 free range chickens at the farm and I hardly ever get bit by mosquitoes while I'm there. I've watched them destroy and eat an entire yellow jacket nest before too.
They eat the bugs so you get eggs. Also, they do wonders for the soil quality.
