yes, it should be asked first, i once interesting to buy eggs from USA since the breed very different with mine but can't because USA prohibited eggs selling abroad.

yes i have maybe in capital city of this country and that's so far, i've been searched the source selling mealworm (i prefer earthworm) but i couldn't find it in my city.


which one do you think is safer to treat my girls, earthworm? or mealworm? thank you all for helping.

I guess I'm lazy. I just go to Fleet Farm and buy 30 for $1.50.

Well, obviously Mulia can't go to the local feed and grain and buy much of anything!

Mulia, either one would be good, if you have access to earthworms then go with them. Have you thought of creating your own worm farm? I don't know what kind of worms you have near you, but here people grow them in compost, household veggie leftovers, etc. Here is a link to a website that describes how to set up a worm farm. Perhaps it would be possible for you to work with your local worms and grow your own? I hope so!

yes, i have been thinking to build my own earthworm farm, but i can find any worm to raise. i have dug for 1 weeks and i only found 2 worms

. i search in dark and wet place but i can find it. i try using fiddle method, (i'm not sure i'm doing it right tough) but i can't find any earthworm.


how could i attract them from earth? or maybe my soil isn't fertile so there's no worms inside it?

thank you all.

That could be it, you just may not have many earthworms. Bummer. Your only option is to find someone who will ship to you, somehow. Maybe this Worm man outfit could help you?

i have emailed to wormman. thank you for the link.

by the way, sorry for asking this again, how could i found worm from my back yard? is that all worm on backyard being eaten till empty by my chicken? thank you for all answering.

Heavily wooded land will have lots of worms. Pasture an yards will have very little.

It could be that your chickens have eaten them all, or it could be they just aren't that numerous in your area, I'm not sure.
