Yes. Chickens, ducks, and turkeys in natural conditions actively search for insects and larvae in bedding and on pasture. Many species kept as backyard poultry belong to the order Galliformes (scratching birds), so foraging for food is part of their natural feeding instinct and behavior. Insects provide protein, fat, and functional substances that complement diets based mainly on plantbased feed. For this reason, insect larvae are seen as a natural and biologically appropriate nutritional component.
