Mealworm sifting duty this morning!

[Major_in_MS]

The chickens sure do love a treat of mealworms!

For those that raise their own mealworms, what do you use for the bedding? These rolled oats are so hard to sift through.

I use wheat bran. But I don't sift until the drawer's nearly exhausted; I just pick out the largest I can find as needed until then. It only takes a few minutes, and I can extract any pupae I find as I go along (and put them somewhere safe till they metamorphose into beetles, then pop them in that drawer).
