    Mealworm farming

    I'm wary of using wheat bran again. The last time I used it I think it spoiled and wound up stinking my whole place. It took a good month to get rid of the smell. I'm moving my growing operating into the barn just in case I have any problems like that in the future. I'm currently putting walls...

    Stupid cat! HELP!

    I try not to shoot domesticated animals but I've shot my fair share of cats when the owners refused to resolve the issue or when I couldn't figure out who owned said cat(s). Ultimately it's the fault of the irresponsible owner who didn't keep the animal on their on property. If that's a bit...

They got so bold that they'd snag my chickens in broad daylight. This was all within a month. The rabbit hunting has been...

    Mealworm farming

    Haha, that's the usual reaction I hear. Insects are eaten in most places in the world. The US and Europe are the minority when it comes to not eating them and lately people have been trying to introduce them as a food source. It's not really much different than eating crustaceans (lobsters...

    Mealworm farming

    I've been raising mealworms for my own consumption (sorry chickens) on a small scale using the 3 bin method. I'd like to increase my production to where I'm getting constant returns so I'm getting some larger bins put together. I've done a search on this thread regarding sifting and it seems...
