There are many worm varieties, and some people are worm collectors.

Hi there "Indoorcoup", glad you're back again; there is always something new to learn & share. In the 1980's, I used to be under "save the favs" because of my interest in raising & promoting the banty Blue Salmon Faverolle chicken, did a lot of incubating & hatching of that lovely breed. Now I'm back under a new name, learning new stuff & remembering the old things that I had tried & learned, all over again too.

Below is the sight for raising mealworms indoors with very good information (to feed as chicken treats, but not for garden). It's easy, not messy & inexpensive to start up. I start my first batch in a clear plastic container (like a small shoe size tote), cut a big hole out of the lid & hot glue screen to the inside for air & keeping them in & keeping things out), put a couple inches of wheat bran flakes in, pick up some mealworms (not super worms - they bite) from a pet store, lay some cut carrot & apple slices on the top (take out if they get moldy), & then watch them slowly multiply. Soon you'll have enough to feed to the chickens, they'll love you even more for it. Best wishes.

There's always something new to learn...for instance, just now I learned that "some people are worm collectors". Never heard that before!

I am not a worm collector and never want to be but, I find no problem with other folks doing it. Welcome to Backyard chickens

I tried raising worms, but it is difficult in the hot dry desert. I had bins of worms in the garage, but red ants made their way inside the bins and ate them all and gave up after that.
