Simplest Trick for Free Chicken Feed

Can youdo this in the winter time when temperatures that gets like 10 degrees? Thank you for. All you information

We're in East Texas and we have all kinds of pests (coons, armadillos, possums, cats, deer, and bore hogs). Any recommendations for securing the feed from pests?
Love the self sustainable farm, definitely going for that! Thank you for the videos!

Thank you for this, two years later this is still the most simple way that I've seen to harvest fly larvae

You could take the same idea to feed your stock pond, but make the container open on th e bottom of the box and suspend it over water. , Then all you have to do is supply the container with scraps once or twice a week.

I love this, I am going to do this. Thanks for sharing, I have just subscribed.

Chicken coop made of Tin sitting in the hot sun-that one way of cooking chicken-get their coop under a tree for God's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you are doing is cruel. You should be jailed for cruelty. You 💩
Put up some SHADE, for those POOR CREATURES.....

So yeah just a compost bin. Got that same idea from Justin Rhodes of a maggot bucket. Suspend a bucket with holes on a tpost and compost in the bucket. Flies lay larva, the larva hatch eat and fall to the ground to pupate, then my girls grab them.

Thanks buddy

The WEF wants you to eat the worms maggots' and bug why waste them on chickens ........ Just ask bug burger Bill ........

Wait isn't it the same thing as composes that you use in the garden but meat.

KISS…. Keep it simple stupid but it really should be Keep it simple SMARTY in your case! Thank you so much!!

There is no such thing like stupid simple
It’s like saying eat shit & food ? Would u say that? 😂

Bro 🎉stop being stupid simple , in fact what you have done n teaching sharing is super simple intelligent. Btw u r not stupid simple😂❤

😄 Forget the 'stupid' and just go with the 'simple.'

I bought an old wooden toybox for $5 with the fly bin in mind. I just slid the plastics inside & it sits under a shady tree looking all cute.

We've raised thousands of chickens, rabbits, ducks, etc...and you are so correct. Most things can be done so simply. That's honestly how we are designed to function. Man makes things complicated. Thank you for the morning dose of stupid sanity!!❤

Thanks Mr Simple

Dang just found this video, YOU ROCK!!!
I'm a new subscriber! I MacGyver the heck out of everything I can... Love this.

Jeff. could you build 5 raised beds and fence them off. Then put scraps in all 5 and rotate the birds to a different bed each day?

Good info. Also soak your feed before feeding and you get more volume. Most stores will give you expired greens and produce if you pick it up 2 days a week. Some ask you to sign a liability waiver but most stores will donate them to you. Yokes will be orange when you feed greens!

You are my type of guy! No tools needed-projects are my favourite kind of projects.

Used Coffee Grounds is a very good base for BSF and they will occasionally graze on it, so it acts as a backup emergency food source for them.
Optional bases: Sawdust or other "browns (aka, fiber)" to act as non-food bedding, so they have a place to get away from the food and keep the temps from getting too high as food breaks down and BSF larvae heat it up. Also it helps some of the food get hidden from the surface, which helps avoid attracting some pests and helps absorb excess liquids. If you give them high fiber foods, the fiber will build up over time for you, but I recommend starting with a fiber source and used dry coffee grounds are the easiest and free from Starbucks.
and of course, give them actual food.

THANK YOU

my wife must have watched this as weve done same, it is easy

I think your looking for

Stupidly super simple.😂

👏 Thank you for the heads up. I would have wasted my money on all the extra stuff for nothing.

Just a comment my nephew had a problem with earwigs, he bought 6 chick's, when they were about half grown he leed them where earwig were massing, his feed bill went to almost nil all summer.
Your system is only common sense. Thanks for sharing.

We have a composting bin that turns. We leave it slightly open. Every few days we dump it into trays and the chickens eat the larvae then we put the compost back.

Only problem is you need lots of garbage to feed it and they don't produce through winter.

Ummm where i live they are called maggots

No entiendo nada pero es un buen video

Do the larva always just climb up then fall in? Mine seem to want to just chill in the compost/food pile

Great video. Love super stupid simple 😄

This is amazing. Thanks so much for this video.

good tip there guy ....nature recycles....it s al good...

I wanted to make a soldier fly larvae bin but all the vids i saw made me not try. think i’ll give it a shot after seeing your video! Thanks! Does it smell bad?

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I really wanted to do this for my chicken but it was SO complicated that I never did so this is a game changer!

I used your method, but added two flat pieces of scrap wood to go across the top of the bin like your stick and used rubber band to attach cardboard strips to the underside of those scrap wood and the soilder flies are laying a ton of eggs in them. It's worked like a charm, I'm dumping about 2 cups per day of black soilder flie larvae to the chickens!

Great idea, thx

Great bread, well done. I prefere to have bread cool down in basket with towel on top of it. If i cut bread while its still hot, the "smoke" from the bread is moist so the bread can dry out. Not sure about this bread though, just an idea. Thx 😊👍

Stupid Simple -- Bullshit. A genious concept

Excelent. Nature is simplex

Oh wow thank you

But be careful with fermenting, chicken eating fermented food and drink water get sick easily :(

Yes!

Legend. Thanks mate.

I love it.... gonna make one today!! Thank you for showing us (stupidly simple folks lol)
