I grow maggots for fishing and chickens plus we let them in the compost for worms.

Place a whole or part of a chicken in a biscuit tin make a hole in the top of about 2 or 3 inches with in a few days the chicken will have been blown full of eggs. Cover the chicken with a damp newspaper a couple days later the eggs will hatch giving you plenty of maggots. If you can stand the smell uncover it and start the process over again. The worms are easy go to a tackle shop and buy tubs of worms and let get on with it.
Failure is NOT an option
