    Do your chickens do that look of disgust & beak-wiping on the ground after eating a slug?
    Yes, but they don't usually do it again.

    If the slug is really small they'll maybe have it. I threw one to a Vorwerk yesterday and she ate it without so much as a beak-wipe, but it was a real tiddler.

    A bucket full of water does the trick if my throwing arm's tired.

    with a dash of washing up liquid in the water or a salt bath :D

    Got eight of the blighters just now - three biggies and five littlies. Put them in the bucket with a sprinkling of snail pellets and watched the big one eat a pellet each. Then emptied the bucket in the field.

    Yeugh!
