A Supplement for Your Chickens
While Soldier Flies do not replace regular feed for your chickens, they provide the ideal augment, both as a treat and as a regular feed supplement.
For regular feeding, start your hens at about 10% Soldier Flies and 90% their usual feed, and increase Soldier Fly feeding as needed.
Nutrition Benefits
Soldier Flies contain a unique blend of nutrients that make them the ideal supplement for your poultry.
They contain 50x the Calcium contained in Mealworms, which is necessary for egg production. But their benefits go beyond just the amount. Soldier Flies have the ideal ratio of Calcium versus Phosphorus, which is needed to absorb that Calcium.
Soldier Flies also contain other amino acids like Methionine and Lysine, which are important for egg production and proper feather growth.
American Land
Soldier Flies are native to North America, and all the flies we sell are grown in the USA.
Soldier Flies are excellent consumers of food waste and other organic material, metabolizing and maturing faster than other larvae like mealworms.
They require far less water and space to grow than other high protein animal feeds like Soy - up to 1000x less space. When you consume eggs and meat from poultry fed Soldier Flies, not only are their health benefits passed on to you, but the land benefits as well.
The less land we need to develop for soy cultivation, the more land will be available for future generations of hunters, hikers, fishers, and homesteaders.
