While we’re committed to a natural approach for naturally healthy chickens, currently, there are no black soldier fly grub farms that grow organic grubs. Grubblies 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 or farm manure.
Grubblies are all-natural, free of GMOs! However, we do not hold a Non-GMO certification from the Non-GMO Project.

Yes! Grubblies are a fantastic snack for all types of birds and many other animals. Mixed flock owners often comment on how much all of their feathered friends love Grubblies.
-
Many flock owners feed their feathered friends Grubblies as a tasty, fun, healthy way to supplement their girls’ calcium and protein. In fact, grubs have a 34% protein level. They’re also rich in calcium with 50x more calcium than mealworms.
This comes in handy throughout the year, but especially during and after molting season and in winter when chickens benefit from more protein.

If your girls had a say in it, they’d probably eat Grubblies all day long. But because Grubblies are a snack, not a feed, you will want to keep your chickens’ serving size limited to 5% or less of their daily caloric intake. This equates to about 1 to 2 tablespoons per chicken per day. If your flock receives other snacks and treats, you will want to adjust to reflect that the combined amount adds up to 5% of their diet.
