Nest & Meadow

from £7.99

Nest & Meadow is a high-protein fully natural complementary feed made from 100% black soldier fly larvae. Made in the UK, they are gently puff-dried for optimal crunch and nutrition. Perfect for backyard chickens and pet poultry, this natural snack supports healthy feather growth, strong eggshells, and active foraging behaviour.

After millions of years of evolution, most birds and hens perfected their nutritional needs for a diet rich in protein, calcium, and beneficial fats found naturally in insects (which in more recent decades, commercial chicken feed has then attempted to mimic). Free from cheap fillers, antibiotics, additives, or grains, it’s suitable for daily feeding or as a training reward. Serve straight from the bag or sprinkle over other feed to encourage pecking.

Key Benefits:

  • Natural Immunity Boosters - Rich in key medium-chain fatty acids supporting gut health and natural pathogen resistance.

  • Egg Quality & Shell Strength - High bioavailable calcium for robust shell development and nesting support.

  • Bright Yolks & Healthy Plumage - Source of natural lutein and zeaxanthin to enhance yolk colour and feather vitality.

  • Easy Digestion - Highly digestible, even for sensitive birds—ideal for daily use alongside a balanced feed.

Additional Information

Premium Black Soldier Fly Treats for Backyard Chickens, Ducks, Quail & Nesting Birds

Nest & Meadow™ – Signature is a premium-grade poultry treat crafted for those who care deeply about the health and happiness of their backyard birds. Made entirely from extra-large, whole Black Soldier Fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens) larvae, this natural supplement delivers a potent dose of nutrition that mirrors what chickens, ducks, quail, and other insect-eating birds would instinctively forage for in the wild. Grown on clean, upcycled vegetable waste in carefully controlled biofactories, each larva is gently dehydrated using a low-temperatures drying process. This method locks in protein quality, beneficial lipids, and bioavailable minerals without damaging heat-sensitive nutrients. Designed as a complementary treat to support daily wellbeing and optimal egg production, Nest & Meadow – Signature is naturally high in digestible protein (35%), healthy fats (25%), and essential micronutrients. Its rich concentration of calcium, phosphorus and chitin helps develop stronger eggshells and skeletal resilience, while naturally occurring carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin contribute to vibrant yolk pigmentation and feather vitality. The larvae also contain medium-chain fatty acids (such as lauric acid) known for their antimicrobial and immune-supportive benefits, helping your birds thrive through seasonal changes and stress. Whether you’re caring for laying hens in a small garden coop or managing mixed flocks of ducks, geese, and quail, this product offers unmatched nutritional support in a format birds love. No fillers, no artificial preservatives, no nonsense—just clean, insect-based nutrition, sustainably made for today’s environmentally conscious poultry keeper. In addition to its health benefits, Nest & Meadow – Signature supports a more sustainable future. By using insect farming as a circular solution to food waste, we help reduce dependence on traditional animal protein sources and lower the environmental footprint of feeding your flock. Every pack is sealed in a resealable pouch to preserve freshness and reduce packaging waste. Give your birds the instinctive nourishment they deserve and enjoy better eggs, brighter feathers, and a more vibrant, healthy flock. With Nest & Meadow, feeding the natural way has never been easier.

Thoughtfully Farmed. Sustainably Made.

From waste to wellness, every step of Nest & Meadow’s lifecycle is designed with sustainability at its core:

  • Upcycled Inputs: Larvae are raised on clean, plant-based food waste.

  • Low-Impact Processing: Energy-efficient drying and minimal moisture (<10%) ensure long shelf life without artificial preservatives.

  • Zero Waste Loop: From food waste to nutrition, all output from BSF farming is reused with nothing wasted.

Supporting your hens means supporting a healthier planet.
