I found this link in trying to get an answer to the question of whether or not a chicken will eat lady bugs. This page said that a guinea won't eat lady bugs, but will eat just about any other kind of bug, which is a good thing, I suppose.
Raising guinea is a lot like raising chickens, so they could be considered as a possibility.
As for the lady bugs, they are beneficial insects, but they can be a pest as well. That's the reason I thought up the question. I'd like to use them to control pests, but what if they become a pest themselves? The question appears to have been answered in the negative. Chickens probably won't eat lady bugs because guinea fowl won't eat them.
This one will go into the food subseries.
