Live treats for chickens.

crickets can give off a smell dont they?

Yess!!! I used to breed em.

Mealworms are easy to raise, just starting with some from the bait shop or pet store. You just need patience while they start reproducing.

We just moved here to Tennessee 5 months ago.
So today, at the construction site of our new home, hubby and I were inside the woodshop eating a sandwich, and he says "are those ladybugs crawling around"?
I looked, and sure enough, there were hundreds of them flying and crawling around on the walls of our shop/RV garage.
I googled swarming ladybugs.
Learned that they swarm this time of year, and this year in particular in Tennessee, there's a lot more than usual.

Now if only the coop was built and I had my chickens.
They'd be feasting on early thanksgiving ladybugs.

My Girls go CRAZY for dried mealworms, they were afraid of the LIVE crickets I bought for them at the pet store... "Egwish" dried mealworms from Amazon are the best!
