Bug Trap for Feeding Protein to Chickens

This lantern will bring fresh and juicy bugs for the chickens to have breakfast every morning during the warm months. Free protein for the chickens! This trap is only intended to catch nocturnal bugs. This is an improved idea from this video: • How to get free chicke...

need another vid.....you must show the results please

[@InReality33]

How's it working? Any updates?

[@XavierArte]

Can we see it in action?

[@80hd80hd]

I just use a solar LED lamp, and it's all automatic.

[@zoemeow7677]

feeding this for my frog mmm yummy bugs

[@fredjones9199]

Have you tried a shallower version? Maybe so that the holes are closer to bottom, like about an inch or two above the water. Do you think that the chickens would stick their head in the hole and eat the bugs out of the water? I picture placing it in the pin away from the roost so that while they sleep it collects, and when they wake up it is self serve. No need to dump all the time. Just would need to change the water maybe once a week.

Good ideas. Also, I wonder if a $2 walkway solar light would be enough light?

[@Lobster_Lars]

The reason why bugs "like" light, is because they instinctually orient themselves by the light of the sun.
If the light is very close to them, they just fly in circles around it, getting closer and closer.

Moon actually not sun.

Kube Dog Nice!! Had to go back and check....Good One

[@Trakehner20]

Kube Dog Goodness, a bit immature, but funny catch anyway.

I put a fluorescent shop/drop light in my chicken coop thats on the back of my barn under a 20x30 open shed. Glad I caught your video, great idea. My version would have probably made my chickens legs tough to eat from all the jumping around for bugs hahaha.

[@InReality33]

ABSOLUTELY GENIUS! I will try this as well.

[@orowizard1369]

Not very cost efficient, eh? Electricity vs. small amount of bugs.

[@Iz0pen]

I just know he’s not gonna show if it really works or not

[@PinkPoo]

Everyone knows bugs love light...

[@norvusordoseclorum]

Have you thought about making an earth battery to power the light?

[@punkinhaidmartin]

I would enjoy seeing it full of bugs.

[@bryanmartin897]

Use a cheap dollar general solar light

[@davideddy2672]

That’s a fail then …

[@sliversandsparks]

Cool

[@Nightbird.]

+Brian Rica - Where did you find a translucent bucket and lid? Awesome idea. Thanks!

[@BrianSkytracker]

That is a blue bucket from Lowes (with Lowes advertising on side). The color of the bucket does not matter as long as light can come through the holes.

[@Nightbird.]

BrianSkytracker
Awesome..thanks!

[@kirosun]

It's not free unless it's running off solar

[@Kube_Dog]

Duh. Then get a $2 solar light and try it.

[@pearljameric]

Neat

[@ouncesounds6949]
