RE: Mealworm Farm Update. Birds First Taste Of The Fresh Stuff.

in #homesteading7 years ago

I never thought about farming my own. What do mealworms turn into? What about winter?
My chickens love our freeze-dried ones we buy, but if they would be happier (and it would be cheaper) with fresh, it might be something to consider!

I think its great farming mealworms, very easy! I have a post on how I made their house, Its towards the beginning of august. They turn into beetles, I try to feed them the worms that are turning into beetles to keep my beetles down. So far it has worked. I keep them in the garage because they like cool dark places. Not sure about winter, if it got cold here I think they would be fine in the garage. And they like the fresh ones way better than the freeze dried, they go crazy!
Thanks for looking and for responding with good questions as always @hethur240, as always your a pleasure to interact with on stemmit.
