Not really, because black widow Spiders are poisonous.

^That answer is not true! Chickens love all kinds of spiders. The spider is only poisonous if it bites the chicken. The problem is the BW spider usually comes out at night when the chickens can't see well in the dark. :( So unless the spider is out in the open during the day, the chickens probably won't eat it.

How does a black widow spider eat?

Yes in fact the only thing alive that can eat a black widow is a dog and cat because some thing about them can handle it but if anything else eats one they will die very soon so make sure if you have an animal don't let it eat one but if you have a cat or dog it's fine.


Why do spiders eat their husbands?

Because she's hungry. Most spiders are cannibals and will eat each other if the opportunity arises. However, the only Black Widow species where the female has been observed to eat its mate is Latrodectus mactans, the "southern black widow". And even in this species, it does not always occur.

Do brown recluse spiders mate with black widow spiders?

Nope, not a chance. Those two species come from completely different families and they would attack and eat each other. I don't think it is even physically possible for them to mate. Mating pairs of individual species have genitalia that is pretty much a lock and key system. One perfectly fits the other. Other species' equipment simply would not work.... and like I said, these two species would instantly attack and eat each other before they even knew what hit them.
