WORMSKING Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae, 10 lb Poultry Treat
Product description
Chicken keepers looking to add a protein- and calcium-rich treat to their birds’ feeding routine can use WORMSKING dried black soldier fly larvae as a mix-in alongside regular feed. The 10 lb bag offers a substantial supply for backyard flocks, with stated uses that include molting support and egg production.
Use them as an occasional treat or mix them with other chicken feed to keep the daily diet balanced. For chicks, the manufacturer recommends waiting until they are at least 3 weeks old and crushing or chopping the larvae, with chick grit available.
Who it’s for
This product is intended for poultry and bird keepers who want a dried larvae treat to add to their feeding routine. Its listed uses include chicken feed, support during molting, and egg production. It can also be used for backyard wild birds. If your priority is a treat with a stated protein and calcium profile, these larvae offer a different approach from dried mealworms, if you mainly want a familiar, complete daily ration, keep regular feed as the dietary foundation and use the larvae as an addition.
A practical use is to mix a measured serving into a chicken’s regular feed, particularly during molting season. For younger chicks, follow the preparation guidance and provide chick grit when offering the larvae.

Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you want a large bag of dried black soldier fly larvae to use as a protein- and calcium-rich addition to poultry feeding, especially for treats, molting season, or egg-production support. Its clearest advantage is the combination of a stated protein level and substantially higher calcium than mealworms, with practical feeding guidance for mixing it into a balanced routine.
