Homegrown Bugs Black Soldier Fly Grubs and Grains Chicken Treats

Some chickens don't need cranberries, flower petals, or a fancy little snack experience.

They want bugs.

Preferably with more snacks underneath the bugs.

Homegrown Bugs Black Soldier Fly Grubs & Grains is a whopping 5 lb bag of dried black soldier fly larvae mixed with milo, barley, oats, wheat, peas, and a little safflower oil.

It's simple, substantial, and made for throwing a handful across the run so everybody can get down to the serious business of finding the good stuff.

And with five pounds in the bag, you won't immediately wonder who the hell ate all the chicken treats.

It was them, by the way.

Bugs Meet Grains

The dried black soldier fly larvae may get top billing, but there's plenty for your flock to dig through underneath them.

Red and white milo, whole barley, oats, wheat, yellow and maple peas give chickens a mix of different grains and textures to scratch around and hunt for. Scatter it instead of dumping everything into one pile, and treat time becomes something they actually have to forage around for.

Basically, there's a lot going on in this bag without anything about it being particularly complicated.

We appreciate that in a chicken treat.

How to Serve

Scatter a handful across the run or another clean, dry area and let your flock hunt through it. You can also offer it in a shallow dish or hand-feed a few favorites when you need to remind everyone who buys the groceries around here.

Reseal the bag after use and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Like all treats, this is the fun stuff, not dinner. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your flock's diet, with a complete, balanced poultry feed doing the heavy lifting and fresh water always available.

Five pounds sounds like a lot.

Then you remember you own chickens.
