Hello, and welcome to BYC. Reality is that mealworms do not constitute a problem.

That article is EXTREMELY confusing and mealworms are totally safe

Thank you so much!!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens.. You cannot beleive all you read.
Some individual decided to save the mealworms as they must have feelings

Thank you so much!!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I feed my dogs and my chickens strawberry tops all the time.

Thank you so much!!

I give my hens and roosters anything they want. If they turn their beaks up at it, so be it. If not I let them chow down. I see no reason not to give them mealworms. I treat my birds with them on occasion, especially if I need them to go back in their run!

Thank you so much!!

Congrats on your chicks!
Early on, someone gave me a helpful tip that treats should be no more than 10% of their diet, which includes scratch grains (feed only as a treat). As for other treats, mine like shredded cheese pieces, cucumbers, tomato guts, grape pieces, black oil sunflower seeds, cracked corn, blueberries, watermelon, even scrambled eggs!

Thank you so much!!

Welcome to BYC, Jld13! There is so much to see, do, and learn here! I don't think there is a problem with feeding mealworms to chickens. My chickens love them! Some other treats my flock enjoys are watermelon, squash, dried soldier fly larvae, and the occasional earthworm.

Thank you so much!!
