Raising Chickens on Almost Free Feed | 1,000 Chickens Eat Fly Larvae | Chicken Farm | Rural Life

Raising Chickens on almost free feed — at QNI Farm, one grandmother in the hills of northern Vietnam feeds 1,000 chickens with black soldier fly larvae grown from kitchen waste. No more bags of store-bought feed, and a feed bill cut by nearly half. This is real Rural Life on a Vietnamese Chicken Farm: banana stems, old rice and pumpkin skins turned into free chicken feed. We follow her for 30 days — building a bamboo fly cage, losing the first batch to cold rain, ants and hungry chickens, starting again… and the moment the larvae climb out and harvest themselves. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 A tray of something moving 1:15 The real cost of chicken feed 2:08 Kitchen waste or chicken food? 3:01 The black soldier fly 4:09 Building the fly cage 5:17 The brick bin 5:51 The eggs hatch 7:03 Cold rain 7:49 Ants, chickens and a lost batch 9:08 Starting again 11:07 The second batch 12:02 Larvae that harvest themselves 13:27 First feeding 14:18 40% protein and the right mix 16:09 30 days later 17:50 Nothing is wasted 19:18 See you next time 📺 MORE FROM QNI FARM ▶ Raising Chickens on a Vietnam Hill | One Day With 3,000 Chickens    • Raising Chickens on a Vietnam Hill | One D...   ▶ Raising Chickens for 120 Days | 500 Ri Chicks Fed on Banana Stems    • Raising Chickens for 120 Days | 500 Ri Chi...   📝 NOTE Filmed in the style of a farm documentary.
