Do your chickens like fruit or bugs better?!

[HollowOfWisps]

Mine spend their day foraging on 30 acres. I have a 40x60 garden, berry bushes and apple trees all are not fenced from the chickens. My chickens don’t touch my fruit or veggies except on occasion I will find a piece with a few pecks. They do every day wander over and clean up any beetles or bugs attempting to eat my garden. When they are not cleaning up beetles in the garden they are in the lawn and field eating all of the crickets, ticks, spiders, mice and toads.

Sounds like a great life!

One time my hens found a frog! They played football tag with it! It was fun to watch but the poor frog got crippled and smushed while it was still alive

They LOVE frogs and small snakes and if one finds a lizard (Anole) it's the most exciting thing to watch!
