Bugs in the chicken feed

Today we need to talk about chickens and bugs....and me being an idiot. lol Once again I let bugs crawl on me just to get you a picture. Yuck! First it was mites in the coop bedding, then an Instagram tick video.....this time it was weevils. Ewwww! Let me start at the beginning....

Every morning I throw a treat to the chickens of each coop as I let  them out for the day. It was getting cold so I grabbed a handful of scratch before going outside to let the Millies out. Normally I head straight to the coop to open the door, but this morning I stopped to fill a water bucket. As I'm kneeling there with the hose in one hand and scratch in the other I start to feel something tickling my fingers. A crawling feeling. I look down and ewwww bugs! Of course I threw the scratch immediately. Then I decided I needed a picture, so I grabbed the phone and more scratch and waited for it to start crawling again. Yuck! Now the weird parts: nothing appeared to be crawling when I looked into the container of scratch and it was a closed watertight plastic jar. So how did the bugs get in there, and why did I not notice them before? (I filled this container back in winter) Read on for answers...
