Thank you!! should the chicken be cut into small pieces or can they pull apart a big chunk? Also does it change their poop? I've been a little afraid to feed them meat because of this.Scrambled Eggs, cooked chicken or other lean meats.
I've never noticed a change in poop but I can't say I pay too much attention to it, chickens are omnivores so there shouldn't be an issue. You can do either, I don't think it matters much if it cut up or not. Watching hens body slam each other for a steak is hilarious.Thank you!! should the chicken be cut into small pieces or can they pull apart a big chunk? Also does it change their poop?

Thank you!! Black soldier fly larvae is also an option. We will try feeding those to the hens.Where are you located? I purchase black soldier fly larvae 5lbs at a time from Amazon. They're better overall nutritionally than mealworms. I usually receive them no more than 2 days after placing the order and I'm not close to any Amazon facilities. Just in case this is an option for you
If they're used to getting mealworms, it might take a couple of tries before they actually start going bonkers for them, at least that's what I've seen with my chickens and ducks. You can find quality BSFL in 1lb boxes for less than $15. I found mealworms to smell of chemicals and the BSFL that I purchased does not smell like that at all. They don't stink and I guess I could say they smell pleasant, if that's even a way to describe larvae My molting birds get BSFL and chopped up boiled egg/scrambled egg (no salt or butter - not sure if this matters but I like to limit sodium intake at all times for the birds). Good luck with getting your birds through the annual molt. It will be worth it whenever their gorgeous new feathers come inThank you!! Black soldier fly larvae is also an option.
