What's in the box: A recurring supply of LoveBugs dried insect treats meant as a protein supplement for backyard hens.
LoveBugs is My Pet Chicken's own line of dried insect treats for laying hens. The subscription has it delivered on a schedule, so you don't have to reorder by hand. My Pet Chicken is a well established US hatchery and supply shop. It sells live chicks in small numbers (orders can start at three birds), along with coops, flock supplies and care guides. The treat subscription is one small part of a much larger store for backyard flock keepers. The company puts a lot of weight on customer support and poultry know how, and its store reviews are strongly positive overall. Most complaints are about live bird shipments and chick sexing, not supplies. The main pages don't explain how the subscription itself works. They don't list delivery frequency, bag sizes, skip or pause options, or how to cancel, so check those terms before you sign up. Many keepers use insect treats as a protein boost, especially during molting season, which the store is promoting right now. Treats should stay a small part of the diet, with a complete layer feed doing most of the work. If you already buy these treats regularly and want autoship, this is a sensible choice from a reputable seller. If you only give treats now and then, single bags may suit you better.
