crankycookie Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This feels like a dumb question, but I've never fed mealworms to my chooks before, and when I opened the package, it looks like mostly some grain-like (looks a bit like bokashi grain?) material and the worms scattered in it throughout. Do I just dump the entire thing out and let the chickens have at the grain/sawdust (not sure what it is) as well as the worms? Or should I pick the worms out?

Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'd give them the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Or should I pick the worms out? I think I would have to give them the lot. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I tend to sift out as much of the bran as i can buy using a fork, I then put the mealworms into the dust bath for extra fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I just hand-feed the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I just empty the lot into the run......they don't last long...and trust me there won't be any left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzieLloyd Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I sit on the floor and hand feed mine live ones when they are out fr-ing. its a great excuse to get really close to them all at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Are these from Wiggly Wigglers? If so then the bran would do your chooks good as well as the meal worms. I admit, however that I've only ever given my chooks live mealworms once. I found it too but how wet is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henslaved Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I feed mine by hand, one at a time just to make sure everyone gets their fair share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henslaved Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have to do it that way or else my Rosie would scoff the lot. She crowds everyone out and eats them at lightning speed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
