Feeding chickens neocardina shrimp

[MarlaMac]

@MarlaMac Tropical(heated) tank?

Yes.

Yes, definitely. They would probably go nuts over them, well, what chicken doesn’t like treats, right? Gourmet treats. Too bad there aren't more aquarium enthusiasts who would buy them from you, and many online marketplaces do not allow selling live animals, etc. They sell for $5.99 each here. You could support your feed finances with that.. I have tried to raise those, to no success, and have given up on them.

Wow...I wish I could sell them here for $5.99 a piece! I even tried to give them to a lady who does aquarium set up and cleaning services - kind of a rent an aquarium set up, but she had no interest.

Yeah, it requires a little bit of work up front, but I have found that since the initial trial and error everything kind of set into place. This is my tank - my husband and I built it. Currently running panda cories, oto cats, siamese algea eaters, amano shrimp, assassin snail, ember tetras and the dreaded neocardinas. hahaha

Your chickens are going to be happy. So glad you have your own live snack factory, and less buggy than meal worms. Higher quality protein as well.

I really like it

I'd say that they be a great treat! I wonder if shrimp farming is easier than mealworms?

I think it would be safer. I've heard handling mealworms too often can lead to an allergy, but you wouldn't be handling shrimp too often I would imagine.
