Ecoproento Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae 10 lb – High-Protein, Natural Calcium Supplement for Chickens & Ducks

Ecoproento 10LB dried black soldier fly larvae are a high-protein, naturally calcium-rich feed supplement designed to strengthen eggshells and support healthy molting for chickens, ducks, wild birds and reptiles.

These whole, oven-dried grubs deliver concentrated nutrition in a convenient, shelf-stable bulk bag. Farm-raised and single-ingredient, the larvae provide an alternative to processed feed and typical treats like mealworms, supplying both protein for muscle and feather growth and extra calcium to help hens produce firmer shells. The resealable packaging keeps the product dry and easy to use for up to a year when stored properly.

How will these larvae improve my hens' eggshell quality?

The larvae contain an elevated natural calcium content that supports the mineral needs of laying birds. Regularly offering them as a supplement can help replenish calcium used during egg formation, especially during high-production periods or after molt.

• Approximately 4% natural calcium by composition
• Easy to portion as a daily or occasional supplement
• Whole grubs retain more bioavailable nutrients than processed powders
• Works alongside grit and oyster shell—does not replace complete layer feed

Will my flock and other animals actually eat them?

Most poultry, wild birds and insectivorous reptiles find dried soldier fly larvae highly palatable and digestible. They mimic the crunchy, protein-rich morsels birds naturally seek, making them effective as training rewards, enrichment treats or supplemental feed.

• High acceptance among chickens, ducks, songbirds and reptiles
• Crunchy texture encourages natural foraging behaviors
• No added flavors—single-ingredient appeal to sensitive feeders
• Can be mixed into mash or offered free-choice for selective feeding

How do these larvae compare to mealworms and other proteins?

Compared with mealworms, dried black soldier fly larvae deliver a higher calcium level and comparable or greater protein concentrations, depending on breed and processing. Because they are sold whole and intact, they also offer the physical texture birds enjoy, while avoiding common fillers like soy or corn.

• About 45% protein to support feather regrowth and muscle maintenance
• Higher natural calcium than typical mealworm products
• Single-ingredient, no artificial additives or preservatives
• Convenient bulk packaging for multiple-animal households

How should I store and feed the 10LB bag?

The larvae are dried and shelf-stable; store in a cool, dry place and reseal the bag after each use to preserve crunch and prevent moisture. Feed as a supplement rather than a sole diet—portion amounts vary by species, age and activity level.

• Resealable 10LB bag for long-term household use
• Shelf life up to 12 months when kept dry and sealed
• No refrigeration required—ready to use straight from the bag
• Introduce gradually to avoid sudden diet changes

Who is this for: Ecoproento dried black soldier fly larvae suit backyard flock owners, rehabilitators, bird enthusiasts and reptile keepers seeking a concentrated, natural source of protein and calcium. Choose this product if you want a single-ingredient, farm-raised treat to support egg quality, ease molting stress and provide an engaging food option for insect-eating animals without refrigeration or additives.
