Why Buy Mealworms and Insects in Bulk for Chickens?

Buying live feeder insects in bulk is the most economical way to feed a multi-bird backyard flock. Per-insect cost drops significantly with larger calico bags, and our bulk packs are designed for keepers who feed every day - whether you have 3 hens or 30. Bulk mealworms are particularly popular with laying hen owners who use them as a daily protein treat to support egg production.

What's in the Bulk Collection

  • Bulk mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) - the most popular chicken treat. Available in standard and small sizes
  • Giant mealworms (Zophobas morio) - larger, meatier option for bigger birds
  • Bulk crickets - large, medium, small, extra-small and baby/pinhead sizes for all ages and bird types
  • Bulk woodies (Australian wood roaches) - high-protein, slow-moving feeder insects for chickens and ducks
  • Bulk BSFL (Vitaworms) - high-calcium black soldier fly larvae, excellent for laying hens
  • Live fly pupae - small but nutritious; popular with wild bird feeders and bantam keepers
