HARTOMPET's natural chicken feeds and snacks may not be labeled as 'organic,' but rest assured, our recipes exclude GMO ingredients, funky byproducts or artificial additives. The core of HARTOMPET products is black soldier fly grubs, sustainably harvested from surplus vegetables, fruits, and grains, diverting them from landfills. While many of these sources are likely organic, our grubs make a significant impact by preventing both organic and non-organic produce from burdening landfills. Be confident that our protein-rich grubs and a blend of farm-fresh ingredients will contribute to optimal flock health, yielding eggs with rich, creamy yolks and providing essential nutrients for robust feathers.

Absolutely! Grubs are a natural and essential part of a chick’s diet. In the wild, a mother hen teaches her chicks to forage for tasty grubs. You can start offering grubs to your chicks as early as a few days old. A little goes a long way—begin with just a pinch or two for your brood each day. Make sure to provide chick grit and water. Hand-feeding HARTOMPET is a great way to bond with your new chicks. Grubs are a protein-rich & calcium-rich source that supports their health and growth. Plus, grubs offer a natural balance of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including calcium and phosphorus. The goodness of grubs isn’t just for adult chickens—chicks can enjoy it too.
