Product Description
Why are Backyard Chicken Farmers choosing FLYGRUBS over mealworms?
You may already be aware that Black Soldier Fly larvae are HIGH-PROTEIN hen treats with 85x MORE CALCIUM than dried mealworms. Did you also know dried BSFL is a sustainable, organic grain free feed that supports your hen's immune system?
A daily handful helps to promote STRONGER EGGSHELLS which means HEALTHIER HENS. But it’s not all about your chickens! Your family will notice the difference too! If your family loves fresh eggs as much ours does, FLYGRUBS are your choice.
FLYGRUBS come in a resealable bag made from recycled plastic, that’s CAREFULLY PACKED into a box to ensure you don't receive broken and small pieces!
Please remember to be patient when giving your girls a NEW TREAT. It may take some time before they start to LOVE them.

A Healthier ChoiceWould you agree that HEALTHIER IS BETTER? FLYGRUBS are NUTRIENT DENSE and contain Lauric Acid aka healthy fats, with strong properties to help prevent and FIGHT diseases, organisms, and other infections. Unfortunately, mealworms contain lowly calcium levels, no Lauric Acid and sadly aren’t as healthy as BSFL. |
Sensible Premium TreatsFLYGRUBS are an ALL-NATURAL, premium chicken feed additive & molting supplement for layer hens. Backyard farmers want what’s best for our ladies, and when we consider the cost of alternative protein & calcium supplements, FLYGRUBS makes cents. We always recommend feeding in conjunction with a balanced layer feed. |
The Earth Thanks YouWe’re turning food waste destined for landfills INTO HEN TREATS. Food waste in landfills produces methane that negatively affects the climate (about) 20x worse than carbon dioxide. Studies show as low as 3% of food waste is recycled worldwide! Our grub worms are a renewable feed additive, raised on traceable food and organic waste. |
Farmers That CareWe’re AMERICANS and care deeply about three things.Our families, our chickens, and our environment. Every step of the way, we work very closely with our farms and farmers to ensure our grubs stay healthy, sustainable and economical. FLYGRUBS are also a great snack for ducks, songbirds, turtles, and reptiles. |

This is the best value for the $$$ I found. The larvae are big, look juicy (though dried) and are whole, not broken yo pieces. The reason I switched to soldier fly larvae is because they are much cheaper than meal worms. This year, I had a turkey hen that decided she needed to hatch out a second batch of poults on August 30th. Living in Idaho, I needed to get babies fattened up and growing much faster than the sparse bug population on the range would allow for. They needed to be fully feathered out within a short time and before the frost hit. Additionally, since the turkey hen decided on a second hatch, she did not start the molting until late September, a month too late to have all the blood feathers grown out by the time it got cold. Additionally, I had a few chickens that had not started to molt yet either. I feel this feed greatly helped in speeding the process of growing the babies and allowing the adult birds to shed summer feathers and grow winter plumage in time before snow fall and heavy frost. GREAT product and an acceptable price. Will buy more.
I stumbled upon this product while searching for an alternative to the usual dried mealworms, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I introduced FLYGRUBS to my chickens, the excitement in the coop was palpable. The hens and ducks absolutely love these treats, and it's become a daily ritual to watch them eagerly gobble up the BSFL.
What's even more impressive is that FLYGRUBS are non-GMO, so I know I'm giving my birds a healthy and natural snack. It's a relief to provide them with quality food that's also environmentally friendly.
But it's not just the poultry that benefits from FLYGRUBS. Wild birds, turkeys, turtles, quails – they all can't resist these nutritious treats. It's like a party in my backyard every day as various birds and critters come to enjoy this feast.
In conclusion, FLYGRUBS have exceeded my expectations. They've become an essential part of my birds' diet, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a superior alternative to dried mealworms, FLYGRUBS are the way to go. Your feathered and shelled friends will thank you for it!
