What on earth are these?

[Suky]

They ok for chooks to eat do you think? I can always throw it in with them and they can have a good go at them, I spose if the normal birds can eat them then they should do any harm to my girl's.

But i'll wait for the ok before I do.

Cheers guys

Yup, they will love them!

they were more likely to have been cockchafer grubs: they look like vine weevil larvae, but with legs at the front. They are very common under grass, because grass roots is what they feed on

thanks for that, next one I find I will have a good look at

Finally got rid of the pot filled with these today, luckily enough they were nowhere near me strawb's, so I think they are safe.

I decided probably best not to give them to the girl's as they get enough treats as it is right now, so discarded the pot into my green bin ready for the bin men in the morning.

Bye bye Mr Evil Weevil and your fellow friend's. You are not welcome in my garden anymore! lol
