    Comment by 'wa2qcj' in article 'Chicken Treat Chart: The Best Treats for Backyard Chickens'

    Meal worms remind me of pictures of a shark feeding frenzy. My hens go NUTS over those dried worms. A head of Cauliflower is fun for them, but does not last very long. Not knowing about citrus fruit, I tried some, they refused it. Something I plan to do is to buy some worms, and "plant them" in...
