Incubator location?

The chickens eat the roaches as well.

I thought of certain bugs with these qualifications:

they have to breed well
have to have lots of offspring at a time
Taste good in Milk( err.....no)
quick reproduction cycle
quick pupaetion time
Poultry has to love them

So my list is:

Red worms
Meal worms
Hissing Roaches
Grasshoppers
Wax worms

I have 3 out of 5. Soon I will get grasshoppers and wax worms.

I tried crickets,but the above list are herbivores and crickets are omnivores.I wont try em again.We have alot of em outside already plus cave crickets.

Some I toss to the chickens (overflow of bugs,or dead ones) and they thank me in their own way.Others I sell as bait or feeder bugs for reptiles.Except for care and maintenance, I have that covered, at very little to no cost at all.

Nope. I wouldnt put it in the garage. We started to do that this year when we hatched some eggs, but ended up moving it in our basement. The temp. going up and down could kill the chicks.

UUHHHH. The bugs are in sealed containers...NOT ROAMING!! Noone has permission to go into my lab without me knowing.

Mine mine mine..back back down down mine mine mine!!!

Besides,the roaches are Madagascar hissing roaches.They don't fly,sting or bite.They just lumber around IN SEALED AQUARIUM. your roaches are Palmetto bugs.We have em here too.
