Hello , most chicken would prefer to eat the larval stage of this bug which is usually caterpillar and mostly green in colour . However others would still it this adult stage though it has a hard skin hence not palatable.
Try throwing some to the chicken and see if they prefer. Otherwise its not to be used as a main feed , just for supplement.
For ducks and turkeys mostly they would not prefer it as feed.
