    Is it safe to put live Darkling Beetles in Coop and ok for Chicks to eat them?

    I am pretty darn sure they can eat what they catch (they are fast) My concern is that the escapees will either nest in the coop or worse, make their way into my house--especially the pantry. I have way way too many beetles. I am paranoid about this as a couple of weeks ago I had a brooder in...

    Mealworms

    I've had my mealworms for 3 months now, 6,000 started in weekly increments of 2,000. I have lots of pupae and beetles now but am concerned about the vigor of my beetles. Many of them have no wings or just one wing and many are forever on their backs and can't get up. I do see mating and some...
