So I have heard about making a maggot container for chickens but the smell has always put me off. Rotting flesh in the Florida heat is just nasty. Dog killed a snake yesterday and by gum, you can smell the bits she left right across the yard. Yuck!
But pine horse bedding seems to soak up smells so I was wondering what would happen if I took a large container, drilled inch holes along the bottom edge, put the heads I want cleaned onto a layer of pine bedding and covered them with more.
As carrion maggots get ready to pupate they tend to move quite a way away so they should go out the holes for the chickens to eat.
My question is, how clean do you think the skulls will get in that kind of set up?
I wanted to get flesh eating beetles but I cant afford them right now so this might get me clean skulls and happy chickens with no huge bad smelly mess.
