Why chicken keepers choose Live Calci Worms
Natural nutrition chickens love (as a treat) 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 feed.
Proper enrichment (not just a snack) Because they’re live and moving, they trigger instinctive pecking, scratching and foraging — helping keep hens 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 stay lively for longer.
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 monthly
- 4–6 hens: 1 bag fortnightly
- 7–10 hens: 2 bags fortnightly (or weekly for frequent feeding)
- 10+ hens: 2+ bags weekly
If you’re not sure, start monthly and adjust once you see how quickly your flock gets through them.
When chicken keepers use Calci Worms most
Many keepers add live treats during:
- Moulting (extra support alongside normal feed)
- Winter months when natural insects are scarce
- After stress (rehoming, flock changes)
- Training & taming — a high-value treat hens respond to fast
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 handful into the run to encourage foraging
- Feed from a bowl to monitor intake
- Hand-feed small amounts for bonding and taming
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 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 (keep them live for longer)
Calci Worms are a live feed:
- Store cool and ventilated
- Do not store airtight — keep the reseal slightly open between feeds
- Best activity in the first few days; typically keeps up to 7–10 days when stored properly
