5 protein sources for chickens

[mslettucebfrank]

I raise mealworms, earthworms, and BSFs for my chickens. The mealworms just need dry oatmeal and a slice of potato once a week, and the earthworms and BSFs just consume scraps from our and my neighbors’ kitchens. All these set ups take up less then 5 square feet in my garage. And is basically free food other then the initial investment cost.

you should make a biopod for black soldier fly larva, they harvest themselves, but you have to make sure your in the right area

Would you recommend live or dried BSFL? I want to raise a couple of chickens to show or just to have :)

I take my kids fishing a lot so we catch our own bait that we keep for weeks at a time our chickens come rushing when we’re near the big tank we keep outside so we toss them some bait fish

So you are not using carbohydrates to your chickens?

My previous indoor hen Loves to eat cockroach but unfortunately he and she is no more neither their kids and my new one love to eat mosquito 🦟😅

Just catch worms from your yard after a rainy day or just make a compost bin and put your worms in there

BSFs are the best! 40% protein, 30% fat and 5% calcium. Easy to raise and they self harvest!

You’re feeding them the scrambled remains of their own children? Kinda sick if you ask me! How about beans next time with rice or pasta. Then make yourself an omelette or breakfast taco
