When I get chickens I WzILL be using this method!
Smart dude. Thanks for posting.
You betcha! 🙂
Best tip on the Internet today, you used everything:)
Right on thank you! 😊

A couple of tips to keep the smell down. Don't put holes in the side of your bucket. When you're carcass is fully infested put some dry leaves or lawn clippings on top. Just like a composting toilet. It's not perfect but it helps a lot. I put crumpled chicken wire on the bottom to help stop the holes from blocking.
I recently learned about this. I have buckets ready to fill with scraps, and meat. I also hope to do black flies larvae.
All of which are useful options. Black soldier flies are definitely a less stinky option! 😉
great idea, I have considered but I am in the city . the city take care of our road kills but if 8 lose an animal that I usually raise for meat I just compost them or bury them close to new plants
This is definitely not neighborhood friendly but you cannot go wrong with composting. 👌
I was just thinking of this yesterday! right on time :) Thanks.
Just another tool in the toolbox! 😉
I'm digging this concept of augmenting our chicken's protein, and we have more than enough of fed well pigeons, yeeting a couple a week would "keep the wheels on the bus..."
But I am not keen on attracting more flies to back yard. I'm going to try making one that traps the flies that come in. I am thinking of using a heat gun, to soften the lid, use a dowel to press, funnel like depressions, cool the plastic in that shape, then snip off end to allow entry and deter exits..... Thoughts? I will also add a wire mesh under the yeeted, to allow the squirmiest out, but the fliers get stuck. Just ideas. Hopefully by end of week I'll be able to give it a shot. Also might try adding a layer of charcoal under the yeeted- might cut down on smell- but the charcoal may "store" microbes, like biochar.
I like it! You will have to let me know how it works. Way to expand on the idea! 👌
My question is, would the chickens get the same nutrition from directly eating the roadkill? This is not to be a smart mouth but is something I am wondering. I know that sometimes meat will develop a few maggots in the coup before they have eaten all the meat.
I am not certain if the nutrition from directly eating meat would be more or less. There is a good chance that the chickens would avoid eating it altogether and the consumption of the carcass would not be anywhere close to complete. I don't think feed chickens dead things that are rotting is a good idea and I would advise anyone against it. Thanks for the question.
@@therealprtrhsenteal Thank you for your thoughtful response. I have fed chickens meat scraps but never whole animals.
Mercy yeah I can imagine it smells a little bit. lol I rarely have any meat to put in my bugs but there's so many larva in the large bin it doesn't last long enough to get to the smelly part. Chicken poo and coffee makes up the bulk of what they eat. The circle of life brother.... :)
I don't know why we humans are so freaked out about decays. Decay is part of the cycle of life.
When you slaugther rabbits or ducks or something, could you put the intestines in the bucket?
Yeah for sure. In fact there would be nothing left in the bucket at the end. 👌
Is it possible to pass along “botulism”?
I suppose that is possible but in my experience I have not seen any incidence of illness by exposing chickens to this source of protein.
Is UA-cam so hassling you saying that this is harmful content?
Lol. Most of my content is age restricted or not advertiser friendly. Wouldn't have it any other way! 🙂
Very ingenious, kinda gross from a girls perspective,but, the maggots are full of protein...
Not gonna lie it is gross but the chickens are highly interested:)
