The ultimate nutritious treat for your feathered friends. Dried Mealworms are a great protein boost during times of moult to help your chooks return those beautiful glossy feathers and re-start egg laying.

Mealworms can be scattered on the ground to encourage natural foraging or hand fed to your favourite girls.
They can be rehydrated in olive oil so they have a ‘life-like’ appearance for the fussy bird, plus olive oil is tasteless and has lots of anti-oxidants, plus amino acids.

For a summer treat, freeze some dried mealworms in water for some mental exercise that will reward the hens with their favourite treat.

Dried mealworms store well and require no special treatment. No refrigeration needed.
