I love your chicken run! It looks more like a chicken resort/sanctuary. Thank you for this video. I've been wanting to find ways to catch bugs to dry and save for winter and this trap seams to work beautifully.

[@depohe]

I think the same 😂. Like all inclusive resorts for them 😂😂😂...

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Thank you, it is a creative outlet for us.

[@johnclore6285]

I lve in the city limits, so I can only have 5 chickens. Many flies today and I orderd this trap today. Very informational video. Thanks

[@blackbway]

I like this. I could buy the mesh and make a few of them myself and place all around my property. Lovely.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

That's a great idea!

[@mic12300]

Did the chickens like the flies or not? i waited o whole video to see that.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Yes, they’re obsessed with food, especially bugs that’s all they think about…

[@bearclawflowers]

Yay! Chicken update! Good info on the Fly traps too! Ran across an ad a week ago & was curious if they worked!

All right awesome that's what I was thinking shaking him out and feed them to the chickens just got to make sure you don't use any kind of poison in the bait cup gotcha think I'll be using raw meat in the cup that will draw in a lot of flies making it easy to turn this into a primary snack I was thinking if they did not die in The trap you could always take it and put it inside of a cooler with a ton of ice and freeze them especially during the summer that'd be a hell of an awesome snack for chickens

[@pecosray]

Awesome POST... TY

[@lancebuchel]

Love your set up

[@lancesudberry209]

Lil dried treats 😆😏🤔

[@Shananana99]

Wow thats a ton of flies!! When ever my chickens have gotten out into any garden area they seem to destroy the plants by scratching around them. Do you have a vid with recommended plants for them that you’re using? Thanks

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Pretty much plant anything that is edible for the chickens. If you watch her later, videos on her chicken playlist called Minnesota chickens you’ll see that we built a three season porch for them and then I put chicken wire around them so they don’t completely destroy them.

[@Chaoswithmaxii]

That bait you used, was that the one linked in the description or is that your own? If your own what did you use?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

yes

[@meghanpalmer1984]

I hung mine up 4 days ago and it's halfway full of flies, it's an excellent trap but how do you empty it??

[@racheledwards6497]

He explains towards the end of the video

[@MSACEVEDO2]

CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON THE FAN WITH THE TIMER?

[@depohe]

What products do you put inside of the tramp? Like the dinner time for flys

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Either chicken poo, or a sardine and a little bit of water.

[@marycarr3684]

I live in Australia, can I buy your trap- it’s brilliant?

[@filipinophreak]

Would u suggest feeding the dead flys to the chickens?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

You could try that

[@christopherzdana9060]

Howdy, great stuff, thank you. The link in the description is no longer valid after a year. Do you happen to have the name/brand of the trap handy? Thanks again! Edit for anyone coming behind me: They're called "Ranch Fly Traps"

[@Teeniebfable]

I had my traps delivered yesterday, set them up today and I’m already impressed

[@scrapykat3028]

So did the chickens eat the flies?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Turns out that it’s pretty hard to pull them out of the little hole so if you want, you can cut it open and dump them out for the chickens to eat then I just ordered new ones because they’re pretty inexpensive.

[@TearDrop455]

@@TwinCitiesAdventures I’m considering ordering these fly traps. Perhaps adding a Velcro Door to get the flies out…. ?

[@JTXRP]

Does it work for mosquitoes?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I don’t think so

[@samuraioodon]

Do you clip their wings?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Absolutely

[@24mbronc]

Is it safe to feed your chickens flies? I thought they carried diseases?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

That’s all they eat when they’re foraging around outside. They are obsessed with eating bugs.

[@troykibbe]

Try chicken liver

[@jf1a8x1]

One year later..still worth the $$?? And what happens to the trap when it rains?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Rain is good because it fills the basket with water and that keeps the bait wet and attracts more flies.

[@fionacesari1457]

I can’t find the link to the fly trap please help ty fx

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

its in the link below the Video.

[@filipinophreak]

Can you tell me how to make the bait please, thank you 😊

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Put chicken poop in there

[@racheledwards6497]

You can put a little bit of chicken feed or just use water

[@blackbway]

Or a piece of meat. Sugar and water anything that flies are attracted to
