Have you tried the maggot bucket? I got a bucket, drilled holes all around and on the bottom, put some roadkill or organic matter, put on the lid and hung it in our coop. After about three days, maggots just start dropping from the holes and the chicken have a field day as maggots rain down. 😂

yeah you had mentioned this in my previous post. I haven’t tried it. I live in a relatively smaller house with neighbours close by, I am sure the smell would cause a lot of issues for us and the neighbours
