Flock Fest Dried Mealworms Adult Poultry Treats, 5-lb bag, 1 count

We bought these during the Christmas season where there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal. I was super excited as my chickens LOVE dried mealworms. When they arrived, I couldn't wait to get out there to give them to the ladies. I started throwing them out and realized, they weren't gobbling them up as quickly as they normally do. When I looked, I noticed there weren't just mealworms in there. It was a mix of mealworms and black soldier fly larvae. Well, my chickens aren't a huge fan of fly larvae. So, they sat on the ground. Unfortunately, because they sat on the ground, it drew the wild birds to the chickens' area. Wild birds bring Marek's, which is a killer to chickens. It can wipe out a whole flock We bought these during the Christmas season where there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal. I was super excited as my chickens LOVE dried mealworms.

Plus, there's no way to get rid of Marek's and are told that you should cull the whole flock and get rid of the coop and anything else the chickens inhabited. Well, we're not going to cull our flock. We'll deal with whatever comes, but this was a HUGE disappointment in what was supposed to be a "treat" for our girls, but instead has posed a huge risk to the health and lives of our 30 girls. … more

It looks like this bag is actually a mix of mealworms and black soldier fly larva. Now, your birds will still greatly enjoy both, but it is dishonest advertising. I thought I was getting a big bag of mealworms but it’s more like a mix of mostly mealworms.

Yes, it seemed like a good deal at the time until you find out only half the bag is dried mealworms and the other half is ? The birds wont touch whatever those puffy looking things are, the pick through and only eat the real worms. What a waste of food AND money!!

My flock runs when they hear the bag rustle! My ducks are crazy for these worms and I feel good about the nutrients my laying hens are getting too.

What chick don't like worms? My chicks are farm endangered species and I take pride in caring for them. I love my chicks almost as much as they love their worms. LOL.

First 10 pounds were so good,did not want to share with my house mates. But the second 10 pounds ? Are only half as good as there appears to be other dried critters in the mix that are not mealworms,the almost look like dry maggots large. About the same size I WILL not eat them and neither do my house mates,shoot even the guinea hens turn their beaks up at them So no more of these disgusting treats please

The chickens love these treats. Price and delivery are great.

This is a great product. I have a lot of birds who require a LOT of mealworms. I ran out and they were ready to peck the windows! Very upset. So I ordered a whole lot of mealworms to keep them happy. So many small birds just love these but the funny thing is the woodpeckers (red bellied, downy and hairy) hang off this little feeder to get those mealworms! I also provide them with small pieces of egg shells that I baked in the oven for 15 minutes and crushed them. I was very amazed the birds like those! I include bluebird suet balls from Chewy and they go crazy over those as well. Happy birding!

I bought these mealworms for wild birds. They seem to be enjoying them, but the bag was full of LIVE little black bugs. I probably won't be buying them again. I've bought mealworms before from other companies and never had live bugs in them. I live in an apartment so have to store these inside. They're in a sealed container - hopefully that will prevent the bugs from going everywhere. :-/

Muy convencida de la compra, buen precio, les encanto a mis gallinas.
