Wow. That's pretty impressive. I wonder if my chickens could eat them.....I breed my own hornworms. Eggs are super easy, I put about 50 in 1 cup with hornworm chow and takes about a week for them to start hatching. Once they get about 1/4" long I seperate them and put 25 in each cup. They grow fast even at room temperature. 2 weeks from the time the eggs are laid they will be 1"-1 1/2". I usually keep 24 to pupae. They will start turning a dirty green color and will be able to see the vein pulse along their back. I put them in a small tupperware container with damp eco earth and let them bury themselves. I then put the container in my hornworm cage and wait a month for them to turn into moths. I mist the soil every other day. The moths will hatch out around 4 weeks. I put a tomato plant in the cage for them to lay their eggs on and I collect the eggs every evening. Last summer I had over 1000 eggs from one batch. Only about half hatched but still more than I could use on 4 chams and a bearded dragon. It's a little work but cheaper than buying them.
Hey no chickens cannot have hron worms i read mulriple place theyre poison to them. I know free range chickens dont have anyone to stoo them from eating what theyre not supposed to bit i wouldnt give the chickens any.I am pretty sure certain members feed them to their chickens when they get too big for their chams. But it can be a hit or miss from what I understand.
