Is your chicken looking like your Grandma's 50 year old feather duster?! A lot do at this time of year. Moulting: the process of renewing feathers. For some weird evolutionary reason, chickens like to do this at the beginning of Autumn/Winter when the weather gets cooler! Go figure!
But you can help your feathered friend with a speedy recovery by providing supplementary calcium and protein to their diet.
Chick Stix is a perfect way of boosting the vitamins and minerals your chickens need to grow new feathers quickly! Black soldier fly larvae are high in protein, healthy fats and calcium - all essential for strong bones, shells and feathers!! Ask for them at your local fodder store or send us a message to order online. (Our website store should be live very soon!)

The lazy person's strategy for turning over your compost heap! 😝

To Logan and the crew down at Gobles Pet.Grain.Garden , what can we say!? You've blown us away with the demand you've created for Chick Stix! Thank you! You've embraced our sustainability journey and encouraged your customers to go 'n**e' when buying their chook feed and treats! Huzzah!! Every little bit helps and reminds us that we can always do better!! Thanks and we'll see you soon!

To Nat, Matt and all the loyal customers out at Lobethal Fodder Store - a massive thank you for being such awesome cheerleaders of our product from the beginning! I could barely speak about Chick Stix, I was so shy but you were so encouraging and really created such a great buzz - more than we could have asked for! We wish you every success and hope we can return in the near future!

Thanks to staff & customers, past and present at Keelan Grain and Fodder for their support of Chick Stix! Be sure to pop in and see their awesome range of pet supplies. Hopefully we'll be back on the shelves again soon!

I've been putting this post off for a wee while now. It's just too sad. We've made the very difficult decision to put our business on pause. It's been an incredibly exciting and challenging few years building our business, Mobius Farms and producing Chick Stix but we've hit a wall and need some downtime to recharge our batteries. We are so grateful to all our loyal customers and fodder stores who have championed Chick Stix from day 1! We can't thank you enough and hope that we will be back in store sooner rather than later. We will be endeavouring to supply our major customers with Chick Stix for a few more weeks so stock up!! Thank you again for supporting us! Sincerely, Jeannine and Chris - Mobius Farms

A VERY VERY belated congratulations to Sandersons Fodder in Blackwood for being the 2022 Chick Stix Super Seller! From very early on, Vicki, the team and the customers of Sandersons have been sooo supportive of Chick Stix! Choosing to purchase locally, sustainable products over cheaper imports - we are so grateful! Thank you!!

Anyone else feel sad for their chickens when they moult in such cold weather!?? Poor things! They look so awful!! 😢
One thing you can do to help them regrow their feathers quickly is to boost their protein and calcium. Chick Stix is a great, guilt-free way of introducing these essential elements into your chicken's diet. Essential for feather regrowth, black soldier fly larvae contain up to 50x the calcium of mealworms! I've certainly noticed a quicker recovery period for my flock since feeding them black soldier fly larvae.
Feel free to share pics of your balding feathered friends in the comments below! 🙃

Making tea! Not the human kind. The plant kind! Insect frass (from our black soldier fly larvae) is an awesome source of nutrients for plants! This tea will be a great little autumn-pick-me-up for my indoor plants!
We do sell small quantities of this magic fertiliser on our website www.mobiusfarms.com

12/05/2023

Have you heard?? There's fresh Chick Stix in store at family owned fodder stores, Sandersons in Blackwood and Sanders Fodder in Gawler!!
Get clucking and stock up for your feathered friends!

11/05/2023

Pssstt...did you know that some Petstock stores in South Australia stock Chick Stix? They're in disguise as 'Calci-worms-roasted' and will be in the reptile live food section. So, if your local fodder store doesn't stock Chick Stix (yet), pop in to your local PetStock store and see if there's a sneaky pot in the live food section!

What is it with Isa browns?! They're so bossy!! This girl is in no mood to share her black soldier fly larvae with anyone! Do you blame her?! They're like a triple-cheese-and-bacon snack! Packed with protein and good fatty amino acids! Nom! Nom!

"We'd like to convene a meeting of the Feathered Ones to discuss this new treat called, Chick Stix. We have heard that it is amongst the most nutritious and delicious chicken treats on the market. All those in favour of pecking them, say 'bukerk'"!!
BUKERK!!! BUKERK!! BUKERK!! 😁😁😁
Hard to argue with such an enthusiastic endorsement!!

Grab your bag of Chick Stix from your local fodder store or online at www.mobiusfarms.com Australian owned. Australian grown.

Thanks Keelan Grain and Fodder for supporting Chick Stix! We love hearing stories from your customers about how much their chickens LOVE Chick Stix ! We're working hard to increase supply so you'll never be caught out and have to explain to your chickens why there's no Chick Stix! 😂

Did you know that Black Soldier Fly Larvae are a great live bait for fishing! Larger than your standard gents, they're much easier to handle.
These photos show the haul from a friend who regularly uses black soldier fly larvae for bait. Especially great for fresh water, insectivorous species. Perfect for carp slaying!! 😁

Well that was a blast! Thanks South Australian Museum for inviting us to play with you at Night Lab! This event was part of the festival and brought together a group passionate about all things science, and the 80's! Our station was aptly called "So long and thanks for all the fish!!" Over the course of the evening, just a few hours, our army of black soldier fly larvae consumed an ocean trout. By the morning, there was nothing remaining but skin and bones!! Good job! We had the opportunity to demonstrate their composting power but also their potential to be turned into a range of useful products including pet and livestock food, bioplastics and cosmetics!

29/03/2023

Hang in there! It's nearly the weekend!
I don't know if this photo should come with a content warning but sometimes the flies do amaze me! Where there's a will, there's a way as they say!! 😂

Saw these photos on the internet recently. The result of the Dunedoo Carp Muster 2023. Carp are a pest species of fish that are in plague proportions in much of Australia's freshwater ways. Communities often get together to try and manage their booming populations. A great community event!
As someone who values "waste", I can't help but think that we could be recovering these dead fish and processing them into more valuable products. Yes, they will eventually decompose in the ground, however, technologies like black soldier fly bioconversion could very rapidly convert these dead pest fish into high value insect protein that could be used for livestock feed. Requires collaboration and partnerships to make the most of bad situations. Food for thought?
