Don't waste a crumb of chicken feed nutrition - feed it to your mealworms

A complete and balanced chicken feed is complete and balanced only if your chickens eat ALL of it.
If you feed MASH, the chickens can pick out their favourite bits and leave valuable nutrition behind.
When your chickens eat PELLETS, every mouthful (beak-full?) is complete and balanced. But some bags of pellets have crumbs or dust, which your chickens probably won't eat. Don't waste that! If you feed it to your mealworms, the nutritive value of the mealworms will be enhanced, and so you will be assured that your chickens will ultimately get all the vitamins and minerals they need for top egg laying and good health.
