The Poop on Chicken Coops

 

Okay, We are all in school again and I am going to condescendingly ask you some questions.  What is deposited under a chicken coop kids?  What can we do with what is deposited under chicken coops?

Well, Kids, beneath chicken coops are chicken poops (Sorry).  Chicken manure is great feeding to a variety of invertebrates from composting worms to Soldier Fly Larvae.  The former needs for the manure to be aged and the latter will lay their eggs in the fresh stuff.  The Black Solider Fly Larvae will eat the manure fresh and they will do a great job of eating it all.  Those grubs, which we trademarked under the name Soldier Grubs, are great for reptiles, fish and chickens.  You can make chicken food out of chicken poop.  How great is that?

Anyway, in order to gather chicken poop for your worms, or for composting, you need to have the chickens pretty much confined to one area.  Free range is great, but free range in a cage, where animals can’t kill your chickens, and so you can get the poop is even better.

If you’re reading this, you probably already are very aware of the benefits of owning and maintaining your own chickens.  You’ve probably already known that the average chicken lays over 260 eggs a year, and that can lead to over FIVE THOUSAND eggs for your family per year.

You already know the positives.  Knowing all that, maybe what has stopped you in the past was worrying about the cost of buying a chicken coop, or the complication of how to build a chicken coop, such as coop materials, insulation, lighting, ventilation, nesting boxes, perches and predators protection and perhaps the upkeep for the chickens themselves.

Building A Chicken Coop – Building your own chicken coop and grow worms with the Chicken Poop!

Building your own chicken coop will be one of the best decisions you can make if you are looking for a way to keep your chickens safe, keep your worms safe from the chickens and to keep the chicken poop contained in the chicken coop until you are ready to use it.

Chicken manure is used to grow Soldier Fly Larvae, which we call Soldier Grubs.  The chicken manure is also good, one aged for growing red worms, European Night Crawlers, and African Night Crawlers.  If you have chickens and want to compost, need bait or want great worm castings for your garden, then build them a chicken coop and you will save the day.

Grow Chickens For Free Using Worm Poop and Black Soldier Fly Larvae

Black Solider Fly Larvae

How to Get Chicken Eggs For Free From Worm Poop

Times are tough and people are looking for ways to save money and survive. We have discovered a way to raise chickens, and get eggs for free.

What you will need for this project:

  1. Super Worm Poop.
  2. Black Soldier Fly  Larvae
  3. A bin to keep your starter larvae in

Soldier Grubs is the larvae of the Black Soldier Fly.  The Black Soldier Fly inhabits most of the United States and is very active in the warm and sunny months of the year.

Soldier Flies to not carry disease and they do not bite, although they do look like wasps.

Soldier Grubs love Super Worm Poop.  The Soldier Fly will lay eggs in the worm poop, or frass, and the eggs will hatch within a week in warm weather.  The larvae will quickly devour the frass.  You will have to continuously add more Super Worm Poop until the larvae reach about an inch in length.  Your chickens will devour them, and that will help your chickens get big and plump and lay eggs.

 

The first video will show you Black Soldier Fly Larvae growing in nothing but Super Worm Poop.

The second video is of two Black Soldier flies breeding.

The third video will show you a cluster of Black Soldier Fly Larvae laid in cardboard.
