I have a small patch of Lettuce wich is invaded by Slugs .
I dont like to kill them as im into recycling to save the Plannet.
I collect the slugs and feed them to my Chickens ,i dont feel this to be cruel as its just natural in the food chain .
Only thing is when my Chickens lay Eggs , i usualy have 1 or 2 for Breakfast , and now find when i put a bit of Salt on the Eggs they Bubble Up and Explode on the Plate .

Chatonlyman: Or better still teach the slugs how to run so they can run the fans in the coup to keep the chickens from being depressed and getting back at you.
If he can teach the slugs to run, he'll become famous and rich...no more problems.
