If you’re a poultry farmer (of chickens, ducks or other similar fowl), you’ll want to provide your birds with a balanced diet that contains all the helpful nutrients they require for optimal productivity and health. This is where mealworms come in, as they are among the highest sources of protein for poultry.

Mealworms will also boost egg production, in failing hens anyway. For more information go to (typesofchicken.com)! (a helpful website we recommend)
