When is too many mealworms too many?!

[JulsAndClem2657]

I have 2 chickens and I give them a few mealworms a week just maybe 3 a day. Well they learned that if they call out to my dad when he walks by and he ends up giving them large amounts of dried/baked mealworms. Im trying to make sure my birds don't get sick from eating all those mealworms. Does anyone know if they will get sick from eating them

They will not get sick from mealworms. I don't think it's possible for chickens to eat too many bugs.

Thank god because my dad gave them a whole 6 lb bag and they are the whole thing I was sure they were gonna get sick or something from that

Chickens can easily pass any excess protein without harm.

Your chickens really like your Dad now.
