Why are Meal worms so good?
If you have just learnt about Dried Mealworms for Chickens, here are some of the reasons why they are good for your Chickens. Natural Mealworms are treats that Chickens simply love. Chickens in the wild eat insects. In a pen, they lack that natural protein source. For chickens and laying hens, they are a healthy treat and supplement for the diet of your flock. Use to boost protein in your hens diet. Laying Hens need high protein for healthy egg producing. Mealworms deliver that extra protein. Also, just a few scattered around the pen can encourage the natural foraging instincts of Chickens. If you prefer you can mix them into your pellet mix in your Dine A Chook Chicken Feeder. They also are an excellent tonic for moulting birds. Learn how to Rehydrate Mealworms
Use meal worms as treats for:
- Chickens as well as Poultry
- Caged Birds
- Attracting wild birds to your backyard
- Reptiles and Amphibians
- Fish and frogs
- Some marsupials
Important to remember when using Dried Mealworms. Always ensure your Chickens have plenty of water when using any dehydrated or dry feed mix. The chickens use the water to soften the food as well as help in healthy digestion.

FAQ
Are dried mealworms healthy for chickens?
Yes. Dried mealworms are naturally high in protein and amino acids. Protein is essential for laying hens, moulting birds, and overall flock health. Dine-A-Chook Mealworms offer one of the highest protein levels on the Australian market – a clean, nutritious supplement with no fillers or additives.
How often should I feed mealworms to chickens?
Every second day is ideal. Scatter them across the coop or run to encourage natural foraging behaviours, or use them for hand feeding or training. Chickens love the enrichment as much as the nutrition.
How many mealworms should I give each chicken?
As a treat, around 10–12 mealworms per hen every second day is a good guideline. Mealworms should make up no more than 10% of your flock’s overall diet.
Can dried mealworms be rehydrated?
Yes. While chickens are happy to eat dried mealworms straight from the bag, you can soak them in a little water to soften them. Some birds prefer this texture, especially in warmer months.
How long do Dine-A-Chook Mealworms stay fresh?
When resealed after each use and stored in a cool, dry place, Dine-A-Chook mealworms can stay fresh for up to 12 months. The resealable bag makes it easy to keep them at peak quality.
