  • I have discovered leeches in my worm farm in the Inner West of Sydney. They are dark green in colour, with lighter green to yellow longitudinal stripes. The are about 2cm long when shortened and 7-8cm long when extended. They seem to be aquatic but I have seen them in the open air. Could you give me any more information? And if eaten by a chicken, would they do the bird any harm?
