A 100% dried insect mix — mealworms, darkling beetles and black soldier fly larvae — scattered on the ground for backyard chickens and birds to hunt out. Black soldier fly larvae are the reason to choose a blend over plain mealworms: they are naturally the highest-calcium of the common feeder insects, which matters for a laying hen. This is a supplementary treat, not a feed; the layer ration still has to supply the balanced nutrition.
Two sizes: 250g and 750g. See also Peters Dried Mealworms and the poultry range.
Benefits
- Three insect types — mealworms, darkling beetles and black soldier fly larvae in one mix.
- High protein — a useful top-up through a moult, when feather regrowth raises protein demand.
- Encourages foraging — scatter it and the flock works the ground for it.
