Why chickens need bulk protein

Protein demands fluctuate throughout the year — buying bulk means you're always ready.

Moulting support

Feathers are 85% protein. Extra mealworms during moult help hens recover faster.

Peak lay periods

When production increases in spring, protein demands rise. Mealworms fill the gap.

Winter energy

High-protein treats help chickens maintain body condition when it's cold.

Product Specifications

2.55kg
How many mealworms are in the 2.55kg bulk pack?
Approximately 70,000 mealworms. The pack contains three separate 850g resealable bags, so you can open one while keeping two fresh and sealed.
Is buying bulk mealworms better value?
Yes. The 2.55kg bulk pack offers the lowest cost per gram in our range. You're getting three bags of our most popular 850g size at a significant saving compared to buying them separately.
Are dried mealworms good for chickens?
Yes. Dried mealworms are one of the best protein supplements for chickens. With over 50% protein content, they support egg production, feather growth during moult, and overall flock health. Chickens naturally eat insects in the wild, so mealworms satisfy their instinctive cravings while delivering essential nutrition.
How long will 2.55kg of mealworms last?
That depends on your flock size and how you use them. For a flock of 6–8 chickens using mealworms as regular protein supplementation, the bulk pack typically lasts several months. The three separate bags each stay fresh for up to 12 months when sealed.
What's the protein content of Dine-A-Chook bulk mealworms?
We guarantee a minimum 50% protein content. Our mealworms typically test between 53–55% protein, along with 28% fat, 6% fibre, and 5% moisture. This is among the highest protein levels available in Australia — the same quality whether you buy 80g or 2.55kg.
Can I rehydrate bulk dried mealworms?
Yes. Place dried mealworms in a bowl and cover with water (or diluted apple cider vinegar for extra health benefits). Soak for 15–20 minutes until soft and plump. Drain before feeding. Rehydrated mealworms can swell to nearly double their dried size.
How should I store bulk mealworms?
Store in a cool, dry place. Each of the three 850g bags is resealable — we recommend keeping unopened bags sealed until you're ready to use them. Properly stored, each bag stays fresh for up to 12 months. No refrigeration required.
Can chickens eat dried mealworms every day?
Chickens can enjoy mealworms daily as part of a balanced diet. They work best as a supplement to quality layer feed rather than a replacement. Many chicken keepers use them for training, as treats, or mixed into regular feed.
Where do Dine-A-Chook mealworms come from?
We've worked with the same trusted supplier for over 10 years. Our mealworms are fed a vegetarian, GMO-free diet and dried immediately after harvest to preserve their nutritional content. We test every batch to ensure consistent quality.
Can I use bulk mealworms for reptiles or wild birds?
Absolutely. Our bulk mealworms are popular with reptile keepers (geckos, bearded dragons, lizards), wild bird enthusiasts, and anyone feeding ducks, geese, fish, or other insect-eating animals. The bulk pack is particularly good value for feeding multiple animals.
Do you ship bulk mealworms Australia-wide?
Yes. We ship all mealworm sizes Australia-wide via Australia Post with tracking. Orders placed before 11am (QLD time) are typically dispatched same day. The 2.55kg bulk pack ships as a standard parcel.
