Yes im breeding my own crickets, they are very nutritious for the chickens. Most people don't like the smell but if they add vermiculite to the soil it will soak up the bad smells.

I would assume the white one is, but his/her comb is very small for a leghorn... could just be a female. I don't know about the grey one.

I am not an expert on breeds.

I have thought about this and read some too... i just wondered if i could easily do it on a scale large enough to feed my 50 (or more I'm doing chicken math) if you wouldn't mind explaining in detail you could pm me so as not to over take the leghorn thread. Thank you for sharing.
