What Are Mealworms?
Mealworms come from the darkling beetle. The darkling beetle lays eggs which hatch into mealworms, which then develop into pupae before finally becoming an adult darkling beetle. So even though their name suggests otherwise, they are not worms but rather beetle larvae.
Remember, wild or free-range chickens naturally forage for insects. In a coop, the foraging behaviour still exists. By tossing a handful of mealworms on the ground of the chicken run, you help maintain this natural behaviour.
Why Choose Dine-A-Chook Dried Mealworms for Chickens?
