Do the worms multiple so I can feed them to my chickens?

No. I accidentally said yes. Absolutely not. They multiply in relation to food you supply only.

I think so. I have this feeder for 6 chickens for an extra feeder in their coop. Their main feeder is bigger and lasts them several days, so this should be big enough for 3. Might have to fill every other day for 3.

I have six chickens and two boxes. When I first installed the nesting boxes, I had them staggered with one higher than the other. I found the higher box was not used. When I lowered the boxes to be at the same height and nearly touching, I found an egg in both boxes the next afternoon. My girls love them!

I have been feeding Kaytee mealworms to the bluebirds, wrens, cardinals, titmice, mockingbirds and towhees in my yard for several years. The birds bring their babies along to feed the mealworms to after they hatch. I do not think any have died from eating this product.

I have the same answer as the other reply. It depends how many flies you have. Sometimes they fill up fast and sometimes more slowly. Usually mine fill in 3 weeks or so. I have chickens so I get more flies.

I have a bearded dragon and she likes the super worms way better - but she is a bit larger - about 10 inches long now. With 1000, they last long enough so that they start turning into beatles, but she treats the beatles like desert. I have personally never kept superworms and mealworms in the same container - but I would think they'd be fine. Super worms like a few potato pieces or apple cores thrown in with them - as well as some oatmeal...I think that's all they eat!

If you are currently placing these in their own dish, try adding them to the bird seed in your regular feeders. I put these in a tray feeder with a bird seed mix and several species of birds come and eat them; Scrub Jays, Wrens, English Sparrows, Cowbirds, Song Sparrows, etc. When I tried segregating specific food items (even live mealworms) in small dishes or cups in the past, the birds seemed leery of them and wouldn't touch them.

The nests are designed for one chicken at a time. We have 6 boxes for 17 hens and it works just fine.

Absolutely! It will take 2 small chickens or one larger one. We've done the Purdue oven stuffer roasters and they come out great!

no. these were very healthy looking worms. Sick worms look bad. Worms are simple. If they are healthy they will continue to grow.

No. I also have chickens and ended up building them a coop. Unless you have a cover on the top (not the tarp A frame that is optional ((I have that as well)) you will see that predators can access them. Even if that was covered, the links are too wide and they can burrow underneath. While this is perfect for the small amount of time that my dogs are there, I would not recommend using this frame and chicken wire. Other than that, my only complaint was the unwinding of the chain link, which can catch on itself and make the task very annoying. Overall people come to my house and are very impressed with the product for the price. Good Luck No. I also have chickens and ended up building them a coop.

I have! There's more than enough to get a colony going. In fact, I split the order with someone else (in Feb 2014), and now I probably have 20,000 little little ones. They're not big enough to feed the chickens yet, but getting there!

no, the worms are not included. there is a website listed in the directions that will give you a listing of worm farms. i got mine from uncle jim. lol

No. There should not be any worms in there. Most likely, it's been on the shelf so please report to the vendor. I have purchased other feed in the past (no the chick starter) and there had been tiny worms. The chickens did not seem to mind and seemed to consider it a delicacy but a product that has worms is not fresh or was not stored correctly (in my opinion).

No... but you have to submit a request to have them mailed to you. Any additional larvae would have to be purchased after the first shipment.

No, but you can also find those at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=red+worms).

they are used to compost your waste veggies and fruit, card board, etc. not for use as food for your hens as u would have to have a much larger amount. no for this use.
