Did you know the egg yolk color can indicate the hen's diet?🥚🐓
The color of the yolk can vary depending on what the hen eats. A diet rich in greens, grubs, and other plant matter can result in a darker, more vibrant yolk color.
Did you know that your chicken can recognize your face?🐔👇
Studies have shown that chickens are able to recognize and remember up to 100 different faces, including those of other chickens and humans.
We're pretty sure that they can learn to recognize BFB grubs as well😉
Why are eggs different in size?👇🥚
Eggs are graded by size, with small, medium, large, and extra-large being the most common. The size of the egg is determined by the age and breed of the hen.
Tuesday Treats!
Incorporating grubs into your chickens' diet is an easy and effective way to improve their overall health and well-being.
🐔High in protein - Grubs are packed with protein, making them an excellent source of nutrition for chickens.
🥚Rich in calcium - Chickens need calcium for healthy bones and eggshells, and grubs provide a natural source of this essential mineral.
🐓 Omega-3 fatty acids - Grubs are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healthy heart function in chickens.
While the exact number of chicken breeds in the world is unknown, it is believed that there are over hundreds.🐓

Wednesday Treats! 💙
Not only are these grubs a great source of protein, but they're also packed with essential vitamins and minerals that keep our chickens healthy and happy. 🐔 Plus, feeding your chickens these larvae helps cut down on food waste and reduces our environmental impact.
How can you tell if your eggs are fertile?
Hold the egg up to a bright light, and look for a small white spot inside. If you see a spot, that means the egg has been fertilized and could potentially hatch.
It's finally Friday!
Even our feathered and furry friends can't wait for the weekend to begin 🐓🐱

What do you know about this breed?🐓👇
Sussex chickens are known to be great egg layers and can lay all year around. This chicken breed is very friendly and calm, making them great for kids who want to learn more about farm animals.
Eggs are a great source of protein, and each egg has about 6 grams of it! 🥚👇
Hens can receive extra calcium through the feed that you give them. Our BFB treats are high in calcium and a handful daily will boost your chickens egg quality and output.
Information to all chicken owners👇🐓
We are currently out of stock and working fast to increase inventory. We truly appreciate your patience and will host an extra giveaway once we're back in stock.💙
Making Monday a Funday with treats💙
Giving BFB treats is a small but meaningful way for chicken owners to bond with their feathered friends and provide them with a sense of enrichment and satisfaction.
Someone's keeping an eye on the flock😉
Happy Friday everyone, who else is waiting for Summer to come around?☀️
Who doesn't love eggs?🥚Here's how our grubs can help boost your egg quality:
When a chicken lays an egg, it draws calcium from its bones and circulatory system to form the eggshell. If a chicken does not consume enough calcium in its diet, it may not be able to produce eggs with strong, healthy shells.
Our grubs are loaded with calcium which makes them a healthy option for your flock💙

"These bugs are the best. I was getting them from a feed store. I would get half the amount for the same price. Chickens come running when I bring them their bugs." - Amazon Review
The healthy fats and omega 3s from our BSF larvae help deepen egg yolk color. It's the sustainable superfood for your backyard flock🐣
"I compared them with my regular mealworms and these are visibly darker. I put a cup or 2 overnight in RO water, and feed them as breakfast to my flock. They really look "alive", although they do not move! My flock fights for these larvae."
Compared with mealworms, black soldier flies have 50x more calcium. They are a better option if you want stronger eggshells.🥚🐣
