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.

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?

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?

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.
