i ain't gonna work on maggot's farm no more...

I'm just wondering... if you put something like rotten meat in there... wouldn't it attract predators ... like coons or possums?

Please keep us updated on how this works out! I would love to know what you plan on putting in the can.

If your hens suddenly insist on laying only in a Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat, you'll have only yourself to blame!

Great, now I'm wondering if I shouldn't be piping music into the coop...

Couldn't this cause botulism? I mean if the chickens are eating the maggots, then aren't they getting some of what the maggots are eating? And if it's rotting meat, that can't be good for them.

I was so inspired that I went out & built one. Then I went through the kitchen & found some chicken bones from last night, coffee grounds from this morning, (in the fridge) some kind of meat & tomatos from I don't know when. I put it all in a jug & hung it in the coop.

If it all works out good I will update this post.
