Margaret, I lost your reply in the clutter in the message about me seeking a grasshopper eating critter for my garden. Thanks for the information about the Banty Hens. A lady in the area has, she says "about 200 Game chickens". I gave her a bunch of tomato plants earlier this spring. She promised to give me 20 or so Game chickens of various ages. I suppose they would be as well behaved as Banties. She was supposed to bring them over Memorial Day weekend, but company showed up. Allen Bastrop Co., SE Central TX Zone 8
