So we went to pick our sole surviving cauliflower today and the damn thing is infested with earwigs. I mean an entire nest of the suckers. I pulled up the entire plant, started shaking it and it started raining earwigs. We then dunked the cauliflower in a bucket of water and more creatures floated to the surface. By this time we’d pretty much lost our appetite for this particular cauliflower and decided that the chickens deserved a special treat. Yummy, earwigs and cauliflower. To a chicken this is fine dining.

Indeed fine dining for your flock!!!! Disappointing for your dinner table though. Loosing the caulifower I mean. Maybe Powisset will have some of the latter for you? Though I'm unable to recall your bringing any home from there.
As for earwigs, the better to dunk them. Squashing will be maliferous. PAC might recall this happening during their Berkely Manor arrival in 1970/71.
