i give my flock an adult sized salad for every 12 birds. its salad that kimmy brings home from work of whats left so sometimes i give bread, but about 1-2 slices every 12 birds, and heaven forbid i dont go in the coops with anything then they peck on me, they also love johnson grass too

Thats it. I've been happy with the quality of worms, but worms period aren't very cheap. I keep playing around with the idea of raising them myself but I can't decide if I really want to get into all that

i looked into it and it's cheaper than raising chickens

i already have the container

just need live meal worms and foods (wheat bran to start) and just similar chicken scraps i give my chickens..

wheat bran-- i think winco or sprouts should have this

I recommend using rolled oats instead of wheat bran...better traction for the eventual beetles. I use cabbage leaves for moisture...they dry up before they have a chance to mold (unlike carrots). One head of cabbage can last a long time if you dole it out a few leaves at a time.

Mine love whole fat oats, sunflower seed kernals, whole wheat bread, frozen corn kernals thawed, roasted sweet potato.

rolled oats? i'll check wincos or sprouts .. hope they have it instock

can the chickens also eat the beetles?

i think petsmart has a container of 500-ish meal worms for $10? too pricey??

Might as well order a decent number...then you can have some for breeding and some for feeding. I started my colony in February and just had babies hatch this week. It will be a few more months until they're big enough to feed out. I figure by next spring I'll have enough for regular treats.
