Just looked up the protein levels for compost worms and they’re crazy high, probably less chance of pollutants than using fish.
Worms include protein in the dry matter at a rate of 64.5% and 72.9%
It probably depends on the size of your piles and the climate you live in. I have a few very large piles, and when I dug into one in February (here in RI) there were a ton of worms.Raising E. Fetida in compost is not difficult, if all their living conditions are met. However, I think raising enough to be a significant part of a full chicken diet would be very difficult. And yes, cold will kill them.
I keep mine outside with a cloth over them, it was -9c for a couple of weeks here this winter and they were fine, I think the biology in their bin keeps them warm.cold will kill them
@Red-Stars-in-RI Are your worms all E. Fetida?
