I think if I raised chickens I’d also raise insects to feed them. Wouldn’t that make the eggs way tastier and healthier? And you’d save on feed?
Or do they tend to find lots of insects in their own?

You set them free and they’ll find the bugs. You can also give them a huge variety of food waste. This mostly only supplements their feed though

Bugs are all over your average yard.
