live Calci worm/black soldier fly feeding: Our Instructions
Step 1: Weigh & Measure
Hop on over to your tube, behold your wriggly live Black Soldier Fly larvae and lovingly weigh out 10g of larvae for each bird directly into the lid – the perfect eco-measure!
Helpful Hint: Mark this level on the side of the container, just in case you need reminding later on.
Step 2: Deploy Your Secret Weapon
Are you ready for pure, unadulterated feathery delight? Scatter ECOnourish in the direction of your hens. Watch them celebrate their new favourite superfood supplement like they’ve won the bug lottery! You can mix ECOnourish with your regular food, feed it separately as a treat, scatter it while free-ranging, hand-feed, feed in containers or hen-feeders, or use them to tempt your brood back into their coop. The choice is yours!
Step 3: Appreciate the Hen Love
Sit back, relax, and bask in the heartwarming spectacle of happy hens, joyfully engrossed in their eco-feast.
Store with Care: Keep Your Escape Artists Contained!
Safely store your live Black Soldier Fly larvae (Calci Worms) using these simple instructions:
- Store the tube at room temperature and in an upright position. Avoid direct sunlight. Do not store outdoors or in outbuildings during cold weather. Larvae become inactive when they’re cold.
- Keep the lid on tightly – these tiny magicians are seasoned escape artists!
- Use your wriggly pals within 10 days of delivery. Got a few leftovers after that? Don’t panic – serve them to your hens if they’re wriggling. The larvae pupation stage is usually 15 to 17 days – but it’s heat dependent.
In the unlikely event that you keep your larvae long enough that they do pupate, there is nothing to worry about. Black Soldier Flies are non-invasive, do not carry diseases or cause infestations, and cannot hurt you or your flock.
It’s time to have some fun while caring for your flock’s nutritional needs. Bring on the ECOnourish, and let’s make chicken keeping the ultimate eco-friendly adventure!
