Funtacfarm Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae 10LB – 50%+ Protein, High-Calcium Non-GMO Chicken & Wild Bird Feed

Funtacfarm 10LB Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae are a non-GMO, high-protein (50%+) natural insect feed and treat designed for chickens, laying hens, ducks and wild birds.

These farm-raised Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) come dried and packed for convenient storage and everyday use. Supplied in a sturdy cardboard box with a resealable inner bag, the 10-pound package offers a steady supply of nutrient-dense grubs that are easy to portion, store, and serve. Compared with common alternatives like mealworms, Funtacfarm BSFL deliver more protein and dramatically higher calcium levels to support strong-shelled eggs and active flocks.

How do these larvae fit into a regular feeding routine?

Use the dried BSFL as a supplemental treat, a training incentive, or an occasional protein boost. They can be tossed into a feeder, scattered on the ground, or offered by hand for taming and enrichment. Because they are dried, they don’t require refrigeration and are simple to measure out for consistent servings.

• Serve 1–2 handfuls per bird per week as a treat or reward.
• Mix small amounts into scratch or feed for extra protein during molt.
• Use as a training snack for flock taming or timed rewards.
• Keep in resealable bag to preserve crunch and prevent moisture.

What nutritional benefits do Funtacfarm BSFL provide compared to mealworms?

Funtacfarm BSFL offer 50–55% protein and notably higher calcium content than mealworms, making them particularly useful for laying hens. The larvae are easily digestible and provide a compact source of essential amino acids and minerals without artificial additives. This combination makes them a practical supplement for health and egg production support.

• Protein: 50–55% for muscle maintenance and growth.
• Calcium: up to 85 times the calcium content of mealworms per weight.
• No additives: farm-raised and dried without preservatives.
• Highly palatable: widely accepted by chickens, ducks, and wild birds.

How is the product packaged and stored for long-term use?

The 10LB supply arrives in a strong outer cardboard box with an inner resealable bag that keeps larvae dry and easy to access. This packaging helps minimize exposure to humidity and maintains crisp texture over time. For the longest shelf life, store the resealed bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Outer: durable cardboard box for shipping and storage.
• Inner: resealable plastic bag to lock out moisture and pests.
• Storage tip: cool, dry, dark location extends freshness.
• Portioning: scoop or measure from the resealable bag for neat feeding.

Will wild birds and all backyard poultry accept these dried grubs?

Yes—these dried BSFL are highly attractive to a wide range of birds. Chickens, ducks, crows, and many wild songbirds respond to the scent and texture, making the larvae a fast-accepted treat. They’re also useful for wildlife feeding stations and backyard enrichment that encourages natural foraging behavior.
