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.

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