Hello! While rummaging through the pet section at a local grocery store, I discovered a bag of dried mealworms for sale. They seemed like a good supplement for my new baby chicks. I bought them and then realized they were too large to be eaten whole by the chicks. Luckily, they crumble easily, and I placed a few few crushed ones on a paper towel in the brooder. The chicks ate them readily. I was wondering if their 47% minimum protein content is too high to be fed to the chicks again. Will feeding these cause chicks to develop too much mass without proper bone structure? They were being sold specifically for poultry. Thank you for reading and/or responding!
