They fuck up my cabbages leaving just the veins and little poop dots then fly away as detestable white moths to fuck up everyone else’s shit. Sometimes I borrow a couple chickens and just let them go find all the yummy buggies themselves. They are so silly and make a fun show out of decimating my enemies.

He moved. @PugJesus@piefed.social or @PugJesus@kbin.social is the new username.
Despite the change in scenery, he’s still one of the Lemmy GOATs 🐐🐐🐐

Kbin is my original, but Kbin went down years ago, before I even moved to Lemmy.world!

Don’t the borrowed chickens eat your plants as well? Along with everything in their path, and even you, if they were big enough?

If mine are any indication, they’ll go hunting for bugs before they start scratching at stuff or eating plants. Even when I give mine pulled weeds the first thing they do is look for bugs on them. Those are the real prize.
They have an amazing eye for slight movement, and are quite good little hunters (they really like catching mice as well). If you don’t give them time to destroy everything.
As a bonus they poop while they eradicate, and they do some mild scratching of the surface which is good for the soil.

I don’t leave them unattended. I let them do whatever they want with anything already destroyed, and they seem to have fun if I chase them around to distract them from other stuff seeing as they come to poke me then run away when I stop following them.
