Hi
Since I've had my hens I reckon I must have fed them in excess of 1,500 slugs from my allotment.
Is it wishful thinking or the time of the year that they are getting harder and harder to find? How long do they live, do they die over winter??
I can still find a number of those small off-white blobby ones (are they young ones or a different variety?) but the big brown and black ones and the leopard slugs are few and far between. A pity (!) as those are their favourites.
Will have to move onto woodlice which is a bit of a pain as they take longer to catch in decent numbers.
