Eeww! You're obviously tougher than I am. I salute you! I would not handle the meal worms without gloves.😂

This is very interesting- I hope you'll do some update videos of your mealworms as production ramps up and how you continue to manage it.

This is wonderful! I didn't know that those particular beetles couldn't fly! This sounds like a capital way to keep your flocks healthy and happy. Blessings on you both and on your homestead!💕🐑🦌

Guess that is the way to keep the Ducks and Chickens feed with their best foods is to grow their best food. You and Clay do good work. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.😊

Yes, mealworm farming is very simple. I started it years ago. Chickens, ducks and bluebirds love them.

I appreciate this information. We are hoping to have a small flock next year and want to learn what we can grow to feed them. ❤

Thank you for showing us! Found this really fascinating! One question - during the summer when you don’t need to feed the worms to the birds, will you freeze the surplus ones to give you extra winter feed?

@divinewrath3142 8 ай бұрын

I was wondering the same, but I'm guessing it would be better to just grow the worm army for next winter. Next summer when they are prolific I could see storing some then.

Very cool! I’ve been interested in growing earth worms for a longtime after experiencing them in someone’s backyard. Didn’t think of meal worms, but it makes sense and your animals love them. Win/wins are wonderful. They’re is something deeply fulfilling about taking care of food needs for both yourself and your animals. Loved the video.

Cool set-up! We used to have sugar gliders and kept live meal worms for them. They are glider crack.

Brilliant! Seems like a narrowly slotted spoon could help helpful for sifting out carrots and shells? Sort of like a mini cat litter scoop? Thanks for sharing!

That is a nice set up! I am wanting to start raising them for our chickens. Question: Can you use soy meal? I get a 50lb bag of soy meal at the co-op as a supplement for our chickens. It’s pretty cheap too. I don’t remember for sure, but maybe $15 a bag? If soymeal would work, that would be a cheap way to start. Thank you for the very detailed video.
