Why chicken keepers choose Live Calci Worms
A high-value treat chickens love Live Calci Worms are naturally rich in protein and a naturally occurring source of calcium. They’re best used as a supplemental treat alongside a complete diet.
Proper enrichment (not just a snack) Because they’re live and moving, they trigger instinctive pecking, scratching and foraging — helping keep chickens active, occupied and mentally stimulated.
Better for the worms, better for your flock Our resealable bag is designed to keep larvae in the best condition between feeds. Good airflow and a secure seal means they arrive lively and stay that way.
How many bags do I need?
Each 500g bag is enough to comfortably treat around 6 birds, depending on how often you feed.
A simple guide (treat feeding):
- 1–3 hens: 1 bag (typically lasts well)
- 4–6 hens: 1 bag
- 7–10 hens: consider 2 bags
- 10+ hens: consider multiple bags
When chicken keepers often use Calci Worms
Many keepers reach for live treats during:
- Moulting (as a treat alongside normal feed)
- Winter months when natural insects are scarce
- After stress (rehoming or flock changes)
- Training and taming — a reward birds respond to quickly
How to feed Live Calci Worms
Use as a treat or supplement — chickens should always have access to a complete feed first.
Popular feeding methods:
- Scatter a small handful into the run to encourage foraging
- Feed from a bowl to monitor intake
- Hand-feed a few at a time to tame shy birds
Tip: most keepers feed treats 2–4 times per week and adjust to suit their flock.
Delivery & live arrival support
Because these are live, they may arrive cool and less active depending on the weather — this is perfectly normal.
On arrival:
- Open the bag and ensure ventilation
- Leave at room temperature for 30–60 minutes and they usually perk up
- If anything looks off, message us with a photo and we’ll help quickly.
Storage & freshness
Calci Worms are a live feed:
- Store cool and well-ventilated
- Do not store airtight — keep the seal slightly open or use the reseal loosely
- Best activity in the first few days; typically keeps up to 7–10 days when stored properly
Also suitable for reptiles
These are live Calci Worms and can also be used as a live feeder for many insect-eating reptiles and exotic pets.
