What is this?
We have these small orange worms on our potato leaves. They are eating away and I keep picking them off. We don't use chemicals, so that is out of the question.
I tried looking these up on the Internet but nothing under potato pests comes up in my search. Any idea what these are and can I pick them off and feed them to my chickens?

I have no idea. Have you tried bringing a photo to your local garden center? They will probably be able to identify it.
it looks like a larve of COLORADO POTATO BEETLE!

...forgot to mention, from a bit of research, it appears that chickens do not like them.
