Grubblies offer an alternative and healthy solution to traditional chicken feed, packed with proteins to promote feather health and egg production.
After reading a clickbait article that claimed we’d all be eating insects by 2030, college friends Sean Warner and Patrick Pittaluga set about raising 700 black soldier fly grubs in their laundry room to feed to backyard chickens as daily treats. Through Grubbly Farms they produce these nutritious daily snacks for backyard poultry flocks.

Healthier Feathers
This non-GMO feed uses raw ingredients to provide your flock with all of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients they require for healthy feather growth and egg production. Plus it’s soy and corn free!
This chicken feed features grubs made from black soldier fly larvae, which contain more protein than live mealworms. They’re harvested and dehydrated on a family farm so you can be assured your poultry are getting fresh, nourishing food.
This feed’s high protein content will promote strong feathers and bright eyes for your flock, while its marigold extract promotes stronger eggs with brighter yolks. Available as either crumbles or pellets.
Stronger Eggshells
Grubbies provide an nutrient-rich addition to chicken feed, acting as a natural alternative to shell grit. Their extra calcium helps strengthen eggshells.
Stronger eggs are more likely to keep bacteria at bay, making them safer for your family. Along with an appropriate diet, your hen requires adequate calcium supplements in her diet to help build a hardshell shell and ensure healthy eggs.
Purina’s premium layer feeds feature Oyster Strong Technology to help your hens produce strong-shelled eggs.
Easier Round Up
Grubblies will help your flock’s chickens better digest other proteins found in their diet, making transitioning to higher protein daily rations such as gamebird, show bird or starter/grower feed easier for them.
Grubs are black soldier fly larva that contain protein, calcium, phosphorus, fiber, lysine and dietary fat – they make for an excellent snack for chickens as well as an effective supplement for bearded dragons, hamsters, reptiles and amphibians and fish! By upcycling food waste using Grubs to upcycle food waste reduce methane gas emissions while creating an excellent soil additive nutrient-rich soil additive and bond with shy chicks! Additionally they’re an ideal way of helping them adjust to new feed which are introduced gradually into their new lives!
Optimal Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio
As many chicken raisers know, crushed oyster shells can be found in poultry feed sections of feed stores. However, if your birds already have access to grubbies as food sources for them, these may not require this extra calcium source as these insects contain the ideal ratio of calcium-to-phosphorus for strong eggs and improved hen health.
Black soldier fly grubs are an excellent protein supplement for layer feeds and have been shown to boost chick growth rates. Plus, these tasty treats offer energy and egg production recovery without egg binding or deformation. Added bonuses? No harmful additives or preservatives mean you can sprinkle some into their water source to help ensure they remain hydrated on those scorching summer days!
Healthier Chicks
Grubblies are high-protein treats made from food waste that offer your flock a nutritious treat that also provides them with essential calcium/phosphorus ratio – meaning you no longer need to buy an oyster shell supplement separately! Grubblies make for great supplements during molting flock periods, acting as an ideal source of supplementation.
After reading a clickbait article about how everyone will soon be eating insects by 2030, cousins Sean Warner and Patrick Pittaluga came up with the Grubblies brand of black soldier fly grubs as a protein-rich treat for backyard chickens. By diverting food waste from landfills while simultaneously decreasing methane gas production and providing nutritious fertilizer products that provide ample protein-rich meals to their chicken consumers, this approach reduces food waste significantly while creating protein-rich snacks for backyard flocks that consume it.
Alongside their nutritionally-packed snacks and feed, this company also offers medicated chicken feed to prevent disease in poultry. We admire their commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices!
