Meal worms!

[OverEasyAcresSC]

Does anyone know anything about breeding meal worms? I'm considering starting a meal worm farm for my chickens! I used to buy meal worms occasionally for my pet bearded dragon but I've never raised or bred them! Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome To BYC! This is a really good overview on raising them http://www.sialis.org/raisingmealworms.htm and as drumstick diva mentioned there are a lot of threads on BYC about them www.backyardchickens.com/t/492636/mealworm-farming

Good luck with the mealworm farm! Lots of members raise all kinds of bugs and it is fun to do. Kelsie has left you with a great link to follow.
