While me and my son were out around the quail pen today we found maggots had grown in the food droppings and quail poo under the pen. I have read that many people give them to their chickens for protein or for snacks. I have also read about chickens getting "Limp Neck" due to Botulism. Does the Botulism come from dead animals carrying the bacteria? Could Botulism bacteria be present in maggots feeding on chicken food/poo as well? Should i wash/rinse the maggots then "starve/fast" the worms before feeding to chicks..Thanks.
