Turkeys, Chickens, and Ducks, Oh My!

Whether you're raising a single backyard hen or preparing your Thanksgiving turkey flock, there’s one thing every bird has in common: they love bugs. And not just any bugs—Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) are quickly becoming the snack of choice across the poultry world.

Yes, chickens love them. But so do ducks. And turkeys. And even tiny quail.
These little larvae are small… but they sure pack a punch.

BSFL: Not Just for Chickens Anymore

You’ve probably heard that BSFL is a great source of protein. But did you know it’s also rich in calcium, fat, and gut-supporting nutrients? That’s what makes it perfect for all kinds of poultry—not just your go-to hens.

Here’s what our multi-species feathered friends get out of it:

• Chickens: Better feathers, happier molts, and strong eggshells.
• Turkeys: Improved weight gain and bone strength—perfect for pre-holiday prep.
• Ducks: Boosted energy, cleaner digestion, and reduced stress.
• Quail: Lean muscle support and ideal feed-to-weight performance.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae aren’t just a treat—they’re a functional superfood.

Why Poultry Keepers are Making the Switch

Whether you’re raising birds for eggs, meat, or companionship, the benefits of BSFL go beyond nutrition.

• Cleaner Coops: These bugs break down waste and reduce fly populations.
• Eco-Friendly: BSFL are sustainably farmed on food scraps and require less water and land than soy or fishmeal.
• Bird Enrichment: Scatter a handful and watch your birds instantly turn into mini-foragers.

The Thanksgiving Connection 

Let’s be real—September is the calm before the poultry storm.

If you’re raising turkeys for the big day, now’s the time to get their nutrition on point. And for everyone else? This is a great moment to stock up for the molting season and cooler weather, when birds need more energy and support.

Think of BSFL as your pre-holiday prep—feathered edition.

From Quail to Turkeys, It’s a Game-Changer

You don’t have to guess whether your birds will love it. We’ve seen it ourselves—flocks of all shapes and sizes go absolutely bonkers for these wriggly little powerhouses.

Whether you’re tossing them into a dust bath or mixing them into feed, your birds will thank you.

So if you haven’t made BSFL part of your flock’s routine yet... this fall is the perfect time to start.
