Omega Mix

FAQ

• How are Grubblies and Omega Mix different?

  Grubblies are a healthy snack of ethically sourced, oven-dried black soldier fly grubs. Omega Mix is a variety of nutrient-dense ingredients that can be used as a daily feed topper or a snack.    

  Both provide positive nutrition & benefits. Grubblies pack that extra calcium and protein punch and are rich in lysine—essential nutrients that aid in feather growth which is great year-round, but especially beneficial for your girls during molting season and colder months. Omega Mix is bursting with antioxidants, trace minerals, and omegas—key nutrients for healthy, omega-rich eggs. 

• I already use Grubblies. How do I use Omega Mix? 

  Flock owners can use them differently or similarly; it just depends on your goals and feeding habits. You can use Omega Mix as a supplement to aid in omega-enriched eggs. You can also simply embrace the nutrient-dense variety in the mix and use it as a healthy snack. Whether you’re on a mission to bolster the nutrient value in your eggs or simply mix up your snack game, your chickens will be thrilled either way.   

  If you’re hoping to naturally aid in increasing omega content in eggs, we’d recommend following the feeding guide and mixing into feed.   

  If you’re using as a snack, we recommend alternating it with Grubblies. They’re a nice treat for hand feeding, scattering on the ground for free ranging, or a little something special to get them back to the coop, just as you probably use Grubblies!   

• How much of my chickens’ diet can be snacks and supplements?

  It depends on the quality of feed, so it’s best to always consult your veterinarian for full nutritional recommendations. If using a high-quality feed like Fresh Pecks, we recommend supplementing and snacking between 10-20% of their diet.  

  At Grubbly Farms, we believe in responsible “treating” which is why none of our products contain fillers, additives, or animal byproducts.

• Is Omega Mix non-GMO verified and certified organic?

  We’re committed to a natural approach for naturally healthy chickens. Omega Mix is all-natural, meaning no synthetic or artificial ingredients. It is also free of additives, animal byproducts, and GMOs (However, we do not hold a non-GMO certification from the non-GMO Project.)  

  Omega Mix contains grubs and there are no black soldier fly grub farms that grow organic grubs. Black soldier fly grubs are grown on fruits, veggies, and grains from farms, restaurants, and grocery stores that would normally go to waste. These pre-consumer products are non-organic, therefore, our grubs cannot be considered organic. However, you can rest assured they are fed a healthy, balanced diet that never includes post-consumer waste, animal byproducts, or farm manure.

• Can ducks, geese, turkeys, wild birds, and other feathered friends eat Omega Mix?

  Yes! Omega Mix is a fantastic snack for all types of birds.
