Dine a Chook Black Soldier Fly Larvae are Australian made

As a family-owned Australian business, we care about supporting other Australian businesses. That is why all of our Feeders and Drinkers are manufactured here, in Queensland.

Our Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae are also produced in Australia. That means they support the local economy and have low food miles.

BSFL are good for your chooks and the environment. As well as low food miles, they are raised on clean food waste, keeping it out of landfill.

What are Black Soldier Fly Larvae?

Black Soldier Flies (Hermetia illucens) are common throughout Australia. They are a small, black fly that is often mistaken for a wasp.

Soldier Flies lay their eggs in breaking down organic matter. The larvae are often found in compost piles, where they help to speed up the composting process.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae are a natural protein source for many animals, including:

  • Chickens, ducks and poultry
  • Birds
  • Lizards, turtles and reptiles
  • Fish
  • Amphibians
  • Spiders
  • Small, omnivorous mammals
