I didn't realize until it was too late that the bag of scratch I had in storage had boweevels? I put the remaining into a air tight bucket and recently opened to find all the bugs are dead. so, is it safe to feed this to the girls? I don't have an issue with throwing it away but if I don't have to then I won't?
 
not too long, month maybe? the weather had been hot so I wasn't giving it to the girls. By chance just looked in bag on day and noticed the infestation.
 
As long as the scratch isn't moldy or funky smelling, it's fine to feed to the chickens. The granary weevils (they're not boll weevils) were probably larvae in the scratch when you bought it.
