When I was 16, I worked on an organic farm in Chase, BC, Canada. Every morning we would scrape bugs and their eggs off potato leaves and into a jar, feed them to the chickens

Why not let the chickens into the potato fields to do the work themselves?

I'm guessing they would eat the crops as well

[goda90]

Not with potatoes at least. The leaves of nightshades are bitter and toxic even to birds.

Chickens scratch the ground to find food so once they’re done eating the bugs on the crops, they’ll tear up the plant beds looking for more.
