Why chicken keepers choose Live Calci Worms
A high-value treat chickens love (alongside a complete feed)
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.
Cleaner, controlled feeding
The tube format lets you portion small or larger amounts without spilling half a bag into the run.
How many tubes do I need?
Each 500g tube is enough to comfortably treat around 6 birds, depending on how often you feed.
A simple guide (treat feeding):
1–3 hens: 1 tube (typically lasts well)
4–6 hens: 1 tube
7–10 hens: consider 2 tubes
10+ hens: consider multiple tubes
When chicken keepers often use Calci Worms
Many keepers add live treats during:
Moulting (as a treat alongside normal feed)
Winter months when natural insects are scarce
After stress (rehoming or flock changes)
Training & taming as 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 normal.
On arrival:
Open the tube 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
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.
