Goodbye thin shell: Meet your chickens' new favorite treat!

Introducing Alarvae Protein Boost Balls – a natural, sustainable and incredibly nutritious supplement for a happy flock and top-quality eggs.

Every chicken owner knows that a healthy flock is the foundation for delicious home-grown eggs. But sometimes, grazing and basic feed alone aren't enough. Maybe you've noticed that your eggshells have become brittle, your hens are losing energy during moulting, or you're simply looking for a way to reward them with something that's actually healthy for them.

At Alarvae, we've combined our passion for sustainability with a deep understanding of poultry's needs. The result? New Protein Boost Balls.

These are not your usual suet cakes you know from wild bird stores. This is a "superfood" for your laying hens, based on the most natural source of protein - insects.

Why do your chickens need a "Protein Boost"? (Main benefits)

Chickens are omnivores by nature and spend much of their day foraging for insects. Our balls give them back this natural source of nutrition in a convenient, concentrated form.

Here are 5 reasons why you should include them in your flock's diet:

1. Premium Egg Quality Did you know that a combination of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D is key to a strong eggshell? The black soldier fly larvae, the main ingredient in our balls, naturally have the perfect ratio of these minerals. The result is stronger shells and richer yolks.

2. Faster feather regeneration (Moulting) Feathers are made up of almost 90% protein (keratin). During the moulting period, hens need huge amounts of protein to build new feathers. Protein Boost pellets are a concentrated source of energy that helps them get through this stressful period faster and with less effort.

3. Encourages natural behavior Chickens love to peck. The pellets are firm enough to keep them busy for long periods of time. This reduces boredom and prevents unwanted behavior such as feather pecking.

4. Sustainable Choice This is our commitment to you and the planet. Our larvae are raised locally on agricultural by-products (circular economy). By choosing Alarvae pellets you reduce your carbon footprint compared to imported soy-based feed.

5. No Nets = Safe for Animals Our balls are packaged without those annoying plastic nets that animals can get tangled in. Safe for your chickens and friendly to the environment.

How to use Protein Boost Balls?

It is very easy to use. The balls are designed as a functional treat and not as a replacement for basic food.

• Feeding method: Simply place the ball in an existing feeder, on a clean surface on the floor, or in a special cake holder (no net!).
• Recommended dosage: For optimal effect, we recommend 1 ball per week for every 3-5 hens . During periods of intensive molting or in winter, the amount can be slightly increased.
