Here's how to find the right thing for your chickens in seconds:

Dry Feed

How many insects should a chicken get per day?
Insects are a supplementary feed, not a complete feed. As a rule of thumb, around 5–10 g of dried insects per chicken per day is enough as a treat or protein boost – a little more during the moult.
Live, dried or in a jar – which is better?
Live insects offer the highest acceptance and enrichment, but need cool storage. Dry feed keeps for months and is ideal for everyday use. The jar is the practical, resealable solution for small flocks. The decision helper above shows you the right option.
How do I store live insects correctly?
Cool and dark at approx. 8–15 °C, loosely ventilated. That keeps mealworms & larvae fresh for 1–2 weeks. Do not seal airtight.
What should I feed during the moult?
Protein requirements rise sharply during the moult. Increase the share of protein-rich insects (e.g. mealworms or soldier fly larvae) for a few weeks to support the change of plumage.
How quickly are live goods dispatched?
We send live goods Monday to Wednesday, so the animals are not travelling over the weekend. Frozen goods go out Mon–Thu. You can see the details in the cart.
