    Frequently Asked Questions

    How often should I feed dried mealworms to my chickens?

    Dried mealworms should be fed as a treat, not a complete feed. Offer them 2–4 times per week in small handfuls to supplement your flock’s regular diet and avoid overfeeding due to their high protein and fat content.

    What are the benefits of feeding dried mealworms?

    Dried mealworms are rich in protein and essential amino acids, helping support feather growth, energy levels, and egg production. They’re especially beneficial during moulting or when hens need an extra nutritional boost.

    Do I need to prepare or soak the mealworms before feeding?

    No preparation is required. They can be fed straight from the bag, or optionally soaked in warm water to rehydrate them for easier consumption or added hydration.

    Are dried mealworms safe for all poultry?

    Yes, they are safe for all poultry when fed appropriately as a treat. They are natural, preservative-free, and designed to complement a balanced diet rather than replace it.

    How should I store dried mealworms?

    Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When stored correctly, they can stay fresh for extended periods without refrigeration, maintaining their nutritional value.

      the girls love them!

      i am new to feeding meal worms to my flock, but sometimes when i can't give them enough greens or extras, they need something more;

      they absolutely love them & they will be a permenant part of their diet

      i also found Nesty Boxes the best priced

      Tasty treat for my tribe

      My beloved chooks love dried meal worms but they are very expensive at the local stockfeed place. These mealworms are great quality, in a big bag and delivered to me door each month. I love treating my chooks with Nesty Box products as if my chooks are happy, I am also happy.
