Growing MAGGOTS as CHEAP CHICKEN FEED | Black soldier fly Larvae 

I’ve never seen a man so happy for maggots...best day of my life

I was just checking farming videos and saw this, halfway through the video I just subscribed and liked, you my man need a TV show.

Folks, what you see is passion. True passion for something he loves to do. A Dr playing with maggots and chickens and he is loving it. ❤

It's so satisfying growing insects because you get more so quickly! I bred these flies myself with a similar setup. I only allowed the 25% BIGGEST pupae to become my breeding adults. In only a month 90% of my pupae were that size! So you can quickly create 'super size' worms through selective breeding.

I never seen such a happy guy..you are teaching us lot of things in life without saying them

I don't think I've ever seen a man happier at the sight of maggots. God bless this man.

"Sunlight is their weed." Lol funny how that statement resonates with me.

You are very enjoyable to watch, please show more of your country and lifestyle, keep going!!

Surely beyond doubt!!! This is my best Ugandan RU-vid channel. This guy is so funny yet delivering knowledge 🤩

You're so excited...lol. you make me smile. I can see that you're not pretending to be excited, you really are excited !!!

I enjoy listening to you Dr. Daniel. I am just getting started with about 12 chickens in my back yard. We want fresh eggs and possibly meat in time. Thanks for your information about growing feed. Blessings to you.

The positive energy radiating from this man compelled me to like the vid immediately!

This guy has to be one of my favourite youtuber hes so happy

You are amazing! My team struggles with chicken feed in South Sudan .. one of my team member mentioned the maggots and then I found you video! Thank you for this video!!

You’re such a joy to watch and learning from you has been such a blessing 😊🙏🏼

This guy is so happy about everything...... maggots and manure...... He loves it all...... He can bottle the enthusiasm and sell it...

May god bless you for being a honest farmer and doctor

Your the happiest man I've ever seen! In everyone of your thumbnails, you smile and which is awesome!

This is the most humble person alive

this man is happy than a lot of billionaires out there.. cheers to you brother.. live a healthy life

The smile of satisfaction on your face proves you made a good decision switching from medical profession to farming. A learned man like you will always find a productive thing to do for the good of the Community.

Never seen anyone so excited about maggots! You are so encouraging . I bet your patients do so well because of your wonderful attitude. God Bless you. If you were a little closer I would come to you.

Your ambition and enthusiasm is great! For anyone watching that has backyard chickens, who may not want to do such a large amount of maggots, there is an EASY AND FREE way to do the same! When you clean out our chicken house, put some of it in a box, or plastic container. Put all of it, straw, chicken droppings, and FOOD, into the container. Leave it outside in the yard. make sure there are drain holes in the bottom. The first day, water it throughally! Till water coes out the holes. Then leave it in the yard. Dont be too concerned about light. But ou dont want it to bake in the sun! a partly shady area would be best, but anywhere out of constant dircet sunlight will work. I put mine right in the yard, where the birds eat. After a bit. maybe a week or so, you will know, because of the smell it has, you can tip it over, and the chickens will do the rest! There will be all kinds of grubs and maggots! I do not know where the come from. Maybe they are in the straw. Or even in the crumb food I feed. Or maybe even from just out in nature! But I have done this for years! and it always works. Well, not in the dead of winter! But I bet if ou put it inside with a little heat, they would show up as well! But I have never tried it! And the first time, you may have to show your chickens that they are there. It is easy to do. Just tip it over, and spread it out a bit. They will find them! AND, once they learn, they will usually let you know that it is time for them to be harvested! Cause they will get in the containers and try to scratch them out! lol But it is much easier when ou tip it over, so they can get to it! AND, the yard will grow all sorts of things and be very nutritious for all sorts of plants! SO after they get all the bugs out, toss some whole seed feed on the spot! And they will have sprouts to eat for weeks to come! It is a fun and productive process! with really very little effort!

You're using a lot of the best innovative techniques for the style of farming you're doing. Very impressive. Keep making videos Doctor. Thanks. Jim.

Happy to have found you. You the man. So many lessons💪👍

Spent part of my life on a small farm. Love your channel, you're very resourceful.

You can see in his face that he loves what he is doing

i simply signed up to this channel due to his excitement, i love it, great for business . He is always happy i guess ...

Oh, such a personality!!! I love him and the black soldier fly love nests lol. Janice

With this energy, passion & courage u guy yo puting, u won't fail to get to yo goal. Thank u &keep t up

This guy totally looks like a young Eddie Murphy. Awesome video, appreciate the great information!

I think this is great, I discovered how much chicken love maggots this summer when I treated my chickens by letting them eat the maggots in my compost. They went crazy over them. But now it’s winter we don’t have any. I will continue when the weather warms again.

Two minutes into the video I was hooked. I love your energy and passion for farming. I am definitely subscribing and liking this video.

Love your energy on teaching! Great job

I accidently started a soldier fly colony under my rabbit pen,and my chickens LOVED eating them! Now I have bins for the poop to fall into, and when there's plenty of maggots,I dump it out into the chicken run.happy chickens!

I am from Zimbabwe originally and it is so good to watch you and thank you for your videos. Such an inspiration. Thank you again.

Good job my friend, saying hi from Texas

You really deserve a like for that happy look

Wow! Finally😍, I'm happy for you Doc....they grow fast and are so lovely

Hi Doctor Thank you so much for the education on how to generally produce have a good chicken farm,. I have been following your videos for some time now I MEAN SOME TIME before world lockdown. I will like to say think you for all the efforts you're putting in your videos and showing me how to use available resources to accomplish your plans. I was very happy to see your video of your chickens being sold out, and the African DIASPORA visitors.

I should say one important thing. You have the ants problem taken care of, but when raising BSF or Mealworms or Earthworms, keep an eye out for microscopic mites! There are (white or yellow or tan) Grain Mites that will eat ALL the eggs of mealworms. The grain mites need water or moisture or humidity to live. There RED mites which will suck the blood from black soldier flies. You can get mites in all species of things you raise, and they breed way too fast. Grain Mites will first appear as a "dust" but then you realize the dust is moving. So, when transfering larvae from 1 container to another, be sure you are not transfering mites. I do not know how much of an issue they are in your country, but they are an issue where I live. Luckily, a dry enough environment, can kill them off. If you get mites, do not give up, they can be extinguished, I have succeeded. You may need to heat-treat food before feeding to them, to insure mite-eggs are killed.

You are an encouragement and you make keeping chicken seem so simple to do..a role model

I so love the fact that you are a doctor.

If everyone can make a plan like you did plenty of people will be able to make a live.

This guy's enthusiasm is contagious! I don't even like maggots! Why am I watching this? LOL!😂 He is a good teacher.

You make me so confident for starting my own small poultry farm

I'm excited for you too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge... I love watching your videos and I don't have a farm or chickens yet but when I do I'll know what I'll want to do. Thanks for sharing.

Passion is real. Very enthusiastic guy. I feel inspired by watching his videos

Skillfulluly &Anointed teacher wz a smile of hope.

I should've said this when I first watched this video... After watching your first video about Black Soldier Flies, I started doing some deep research and wondered where I could get some for myself. I eventually found some BSF larvae in my backyard some weeks ago; I couldn't believe it OMG. I then constructed a little maggot farm where I am now keeping them... I'm planning to use them as chick feed, thanks to your inspiration. But I don't have chickens yet. I want the BSF to reproduce through a few generations where I'll have enough to sustain my chickens when they arrive. I am extremely happy for you Dr. Daniel. Happy for your success and for your assistance to all of us watching your channel and learning from you. God bless you

Thank you for sharing your biodiversity nature farming 🙏🏿🌳🦚

I love all your work. The lab scientists in you is so genius. I truly thank the Lord for you. Much love and blessings to you sir. 🙏🏽🤗🐣🐤

I like the passion u have 4 poultry and farming

This is so Smart Dr . Daniel

I came across your channel a week ago and after viewing several of your video's I have to say....I am truly impressed with what you have accomplished! You might consider raising "Meal Worms" which are quite amazing after doing research. There is NO WASTE with meal worms, virtually everything is useable including their poop which is a fantastic fertilizer.

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿❤️❤️ looking forward to many more black soldier flys and you cutting down on commercial feed 🎉🎉😂🎈

I am a small poultry farmer, thank you for the information

Thank you Dr for teaching us. You are a happy person 😊😊

I like your teaching man, and the passion you have for the chickens

What joy he gets from maggots. Glad to see the Dr. is happy.
