Janie at The Hedge Combers had a very interesting post this week... meal worms. Yes, you really can be a homesteader and raise your own worms! No seriously... theyre for the "girls"; you know... the chickens?

I actually have some meal worms Im raising, but I really have no clue what Im doing. Janie seems to have a handle on things. In fact, Id say shes nearly a pro! If she were my neighbor, Id start bartering for worms... quick as a wink! Or Id have her mentor me in the fine art of meal worms.



I just want to know how does she get the worms separated for the chickens to eat? Janie, if youre reading this... Id love a follow up post with even more. Truly, I think this is fascinating and I would love to have a self-sustaining form of protein for my layers.

For all you teenage boys out there... are you reading this? Seriously. You could start a small business and fund your way through college. Many a suburban chicken farmer would be interested in this sort of food for their hens.
