Unfortunately regular earthworms don't work well. When I started, I tried a small container with them. It didn't work. Red worms are what you need. And I tried red worms from a bait store, but they didn't work well either for some reason. It wasn't until I went online and bought red worms specifically bred for composting that I got results. It was a site called unclejimswormfarm.com. They were expensive, but well worth it. They were so lively, they almost jumped out of the bag when I opened it, and they are voracious eaters.
OK, thanks for the heads-up. I have put some of the ones I find into the pen for the chickens. They dont seem particularly interested but eventually the worms do disappear. I not sure if they get eaten or if they crawl away.
