CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it good for a chick to eat a fly? (Is it good for a chick to eat a fly?)

1. What are the benefits of feeding flies to birds?

No benefit. It's best not to feed it yet. You know that flies have a lot of harmful bacteria on them. The chicks are just born and their immune system is still very low. They may not be able to withstand it. You can make some rice into rice paste and make it into liquid food for them to eat. Generally speaking, there will be no problem.

Generally, baby birds are not very good at swallowing. If you want to feed them, first get a card and gently put it in, then use a softer bamboo stick to push it deeper, so that they will react and swallow it by themselves.

2. What are the dangers of feeding maggots to chickens?

Generally, the total amount should account for 20% of the feed and should not exceed 30%. If the chickens eat too much, they will excrete the maggots after eating them and then eat them again. It may also lead to excess egg white, swelling of the chicken's abdomen and death.

It is not recommended to feed immature maggots to chicks, because the maggots have undigested bacteria in their stomachs and on their bodies, so mature maggots will no longer eat. At the same time, there are no black threads in their stomachs, and the dirt on their bodies has been wiped clean when they crawl out. In addition, empty-stomach chickens need to eat some other feed first, and then feed the maggots, so that the utilization rate is higher.

3. What’s the matter with chickens eating flies?

There is nothing wrong with old hens eating flies. Flies are a kind of insects, which belong to the category of chicken food. After being eaten and digested, they are converted into meat. Hens are a kind of poultry with small heads, oval eyes, sharp and hard beaks, and dense and long hairs, so they are also called round-haired hens. They start eating late and eat slowly. In the same batch of chickens, more roosters are born after 20.5 days, and more hens are born after 21 days. Classification level: Animalia-Chordata-Vertebrata-Aves-Protoptera-Galliformes-Phasianidae, Gallus gallus, domestic chicken species.

4. What are the disadvantages of birds eating flies?

There is actually nothing wrong with birds eating flies. Most flies will not change after being eaten by birds. It’s just that flies are too dirty and have too many germs, which makes the birds dirty too.

5. Can chickens eat earthworms? Does eating earthworms provide calcium?

Of course, chicks can eat earthworms. Although earthworms contain less calcium, they are rich in protein and can promote the growth of chicks. Try to feed chicks with smaller earthworms. Chickens are different from humans. Calcium cannot be supplemented with calcium tablets. They should be supplemented with pure natural food. For example, eat more flies, earthworms and small fish. These can help chicks supplement calcium. Feed chicks with eggshells, duck bones or chicken bones. In this way, the chicks will grow stronger and stronger!

Note the following:

1. Chickens can eat 2 to 3 large earthworms and 5 to 6 small earthworms a day.

2. Earthworms are a kind of lower annelid, although they have a head, a tail, a mouth, a stomach and anus. Earthworms are omnivorous animals. They do not eat glass, plastic, metal and rubber, but eat everything else, such as humus, animal feces, soil bacteria and the decomposition products of these substances.

3. The protein content of earthworms is about 53.5%~65.1% of dry weight, the fat content is about 4.4%~17.38%, the carbohydrate content is about 11%~17.4%, and the ash content is 7.8%~23%. Earthworms are also rich in vitamin D and other mineral elements. Earthworms contain many medicinal ingredients such as earthworm essence, earthworm detoxification, xanthine, antihistamine and vitamin B.

Fourth, due to the high nutrient content of earthworms, chickens can easily get nutrient supplements after eating them. With sufficient nutrients, chickens grow and develop quickly. Secondly, earthworms live in fertile and loose soil, and chickens can easily catch and eat them with their claws after crawling. They can get high-nutrient food without being easily hungry.

6. Do chickens eat flies and caterpillars?

It is natural for chickens to eat insects, and they won’t be poisoned. Chickens can eat centipedes without any problems, let alone small caterpillars. It’s a piece of cake!

You definitely didn't die from eating insects. There must be other reasons.
