My 4 hens love live meal worms - and because I must buy them, they never get more than about 100 at any one time, usually in their treat bowl mixed with laying mash and greens, etc. or in the run where they wiggle and drive the hens into a mealworm picking frenzy.
When I say they love them, I am understating it - they will eat each other to get to the worms!
I just ordered a great big honkin container of freeze dried meal worms as they are much less expensive than the live ones - can I just scatter them in the run in about a handful? What would be too much? I want happy girls, but want them healthy, too.
Thank you.
