Too many crickets?

[John Kechejian]

I have 12 chickens that are fed a staple diet of Purina Medicated feed. I do however have a little country store/bait and tackle store near my house, and when I stop to get cigarettes I will also get 100 grickets or a tub of meal worms to feed to my chickens as a treat. They go BANANAS!! They love em! And it is very entertaining to watch them. My question is, is this bad for them, or can you give them too many of them? (bugs I mean)

Any idea what's a safe age to introduce crickets?

My chicks are 2 1/2 weeks old and they're outside during daylight hours in a run and they're always snapping up worms and little flying bugs, so I wonder if they're old enough for me to feed them crickets??

Any thoughts on a minimum safe age for crickets?

I started with pinhead crickets from day one and I’ve been feeding them every day now they’re up to adult size cricket so she can save the video and they were born a week ago today and 11 AM on July 26, 2021

Crickets are not bad at all. In fact I can hear you chickens asking for more right now.

Better run to the store.
