mealworms and crickets

[chelsea123]

Does anyone know if chickens can have meal worms and/or crickets?

 

[Chicks Galore3]

They can have both. Don't use any cricket or other bug sprays around you house...they can be fatal to chickens if they eat contaminated bugs!

 

[TwoCrows]

Absolutely!! Chickens love all bugs. Carnivores they are!!!

Great to have you aboard and welcome to BYC!

Welcome to BYC! I'm pretty sure that chickens can eat those bugs. They're fond to meal worms!

Welcome to BYC - as others have said - yes they can.
