Make a pile of food scraps nearby so the adult flies from the toilet colony can come and lay eggs.  Your chickens will have a constant supply of BSFL. Chickens go crazy over BSFL so much that they tend to wipe out the colony before some can survive long enough for the next generation.

I do emotionally uncomfortable things all day every day 😂.

There are lots of how to’s on building biopods where the larvae self harvest and drop out a pvc pipe into a bucket or jar or whatever collection device.

I’ve yet to find an instruction on a biopod set up that is also using human waste. I’m wondering if there would need to be any differences.

If I’m not trying to collect the bsfl to feed chickens, can I just order some bsfl and dump them into my humanure bin??? And let them do their thing?

I’m looking for instructions on setting up my actual composting toilet with the possibility bsfl collection to feed chickens.

Can anyone direct me to some videos or very easy to understand directions on setting up humanure composting using bsfl?

Ideally I’d like to harvest and feed to chickens, but if this is ill advised I’m happy to just let those little grubbies eat my poop. There seems to be conflicting info on weather feeding humanure raised bsfl to chickens, and then eating their eggs is safe or not.
