They get in the way terrible but they are amusing to have around and good company. I pick up the unearthed potatoes while they pick up any insects and worms. That reminds me I haven't searched for any eggs today yet, they keep finding new places to lay them; they've become very good at hiding them... -- David in Normandy. |

Plenty of small green and black ones this year on just about everything, found some even climbing the front door! The chickens ignore them, probably don't taste nice. -- David in Normandy. |
