Can't find them in any of the stores that usually carry them. Not even one store can estimate when they will be able to get any. Net research indicates pretty much a nationwide shortage, various reasons quoted.
Has anyone found a good source that ships (with mealworms still alive upon arrival)?
My birds are very bummed with sudden temp drops and one who is molting has had her comb turn pale. I want to give her extra protein sources but now she is rejecting eggs, high quality cat food and everything else protein that I can think of. I think she would accept mealworms and want to get some fast to try to help her through this time (hoping the pale comb is molt related...).
Any other buyable bugs that chickens would almost assuredly love? Crickets?
Thanks.
