Get it if

Anyone who wants the most-rated bag here: five pounds, a 4.8-star average, and the listing states hand inspection for whole worms rather than dust.

Skip it if

Skip if you are choosing on stated protein — this bag claims a lower figure than the PICKY NEB, on a basis neither brand explains.

Manufacturer's claims (from Hatortempt)Show
  • Protein for Feathers & Eggs: With 50% protein and 32% fat, our chicken treats for laying hens provide amino acids known to grow feathers faster during molt. These nutrients in our dried mealworms for wild birds and chickens also support larger, tasty eggs
  • Whole, Crisp Worms: Every batch of our meal worms for chickens are hand inspected, ensuring you get whole grubs, without dust. Don't buy chicken and wild bird food they won't eat; our worms are double-dried, giving them the crispy texture chickens love
  • Loved by Multiple Species: Our meal worms, dried for chickens, aren't just great for poultry. Rich in vitamins A and B, use them as bird treats, leopard gecko food, hamster treats or duck food for wild ducks, perfect for bird watchers and multi-pet homes
  • Resealable Bag: Where other meal worms for wild birds come in flimsy plastic, our chicken worms come in a sturdy resealable bag. This easy storage seal keeps your chicken snacks fresh for 2 years, with a 5.2% moisture level that prevents spoilage
  • Mealworms vs BSFL: Both dried black soldier fly larvae and mealworms for birds encourage natural foraging and trust-building through training. Use them in tandem for optimal health; mealworms provide the protein, while BSFL offer the essential calcium
