Buff Orrpingtons are really big chickens, and quite tame too, like to be petted. But if you want a bird to get rid of bugs, guineas are the best bug catchers and they don't damage other plants like chickens do. Guineas will keep pests out of a vegetable garden while chickens will eat many of the vegetables along with the bugs- especially tomatoes and any greens.What chickens are best for pest control?
Chickens are fussy about which bugs they eat. They will not eat spiders or ants. They will eat earwigs though.





Chickens will carry lice from wild birds unless you dust them regularly, and they will need more than bugs to eat. You will have to feed and water them every day, summer or winter and you will have to clean up chicken poop all over the place, including on the paths and your door step. They will get into the flower beds and scratch the flowers out of the ground, and scatter your bark mulch all over the place looking for bugs.





They won't stay home unless you clip their wings, and then they will be prey for the neighborhood dogs. So be prepared for the neighbors to complain about them.





If you shut them up so they can't roam around, they can't eat your bugs.





If you are still wanting chickens, I like the Rhoade Island Reds, (Large Brown Chickens that lay brown eggs) or the Bard Rocks, Big Black chickens with white stripes on the feather tips, lay large gry/brown eggs. They have a tendency to stay closer to home and are more docile than the other breeds.
Get chickens but i would use insecticide to get rid of the bugs.


If you get chickens then you will have to worry about mice and rats from the feed for the chickens.


You'd probably be better off getting lizards.
your foundation is probably wet, earwigs ,silverfish ,roaches all favor a wet environment. you won't be rid of hem till you dry things up/
The white ones and Rode Island red.








It is comical to see hens running after bugs.


They go to bed at dark.
