😂 Yep — I've officially become part of the chicken furniture now. My legs are apparently Bubble and Cookie’s premium perch. 😂
It’s amazing how quickly a few mealworms as little rewards can build their confidence around you — they’ve gone from keeping their distance to literally climbing all over me. 🐔🪱❤️

Six chickens, one handful of mealworms and absolutely no manners. 😂

A couple of weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of presenting to the Jimboomba Garden Society, kindly invited by Cheryl. 🌱
What a wonderful group of gardeners! So welcoming, kind, curious, and full of great questions. I loved chatting about mealworms, frass, soil health, and yes… the polite scientific term for insect poo. 😄
At JinsGrowth, we raise live mealworms as a sustainable, natural feed for backyard chickens, birds, reptiles, fish and other animals. What started as a small idea, we just wanted to feed our quails! has grown into a local family-run mealworm farm, and it was lovely to share a bit of that journey with everyone.
I also got to talk about mealworm frass through RichRoots Fertilisers, a natural soil amendment made from mealworm castings and shed skins. The shed skins are the secret weapon: they're made of chitin, and when soil microbes break it down, your plants think they're under attack and switch on their own defences. It's almost like a vaccine for your veggies, they build resilience before the pests even arrive. 🐛 Plus you get slow-release nutrients and a big dose of organic carbon to feed your soil life.
A big thank you again to Cheryl and everyone at the Jimboomba Garden Society for the warmth and hospitality, it made for such an enjoyable morning. I can't wait to see what you all grow this season! 🌻

Big thank you to Doreen for taking the time to share and talk about mealworm frass 🌱

It is always lovely seeing local gardeners and plant lovers exploring more natural ways to support soil health and plant growth.

For anyone interested in trying it especially for indoor plants, pots, balcony gardens, or small home gardens, you can also find our RichRoots fertiliser range here RichRoots Fertilisers https://richroots.com.au) 🙂

You can usually see the exact moment their instincts switch on.
Most chickens do not need to be taught what live food is.
The staring.
The head tilt.
Then suddenly… sprint mode.
Sometimes it only takes a few seconds before they are completely obsessed.
It is honestly one of the funniest things to watch in the backyard.

Why we do not dehydrate our mealworms

A lot of people ask us why we sell live mealworms instead of dehydrated ones.

For us, the answer is simple: we would rather keep them fresh, moving, and natural.

Dehydrating mealworms takes extra energy, extra processing, and extra handling, just to remove the moisture and movement that chickens naturally love.

Live mealworms give chooks more than just a treat.

They move, so chickens instinctively scratch, peck, chase, and forage. That makes treat time more exciting and helps keep them active, especially for backyard chickens that may not have endless space to roam.

They are fresh, not processed.
They contain natural moisture.
They usually get an instant reaction.
And they are great for hand-feeding, bonding, calling your flock back, or encouraging shy birds to come closer.

Mealworms are also naturally protein-rich, which makes them a useful treat during moulting or when chickens are growing new feathers. Feathers are made largely from protein, so extra protein and amino acids can be helpful during those demanding periods.

Dehydrated mealworms are convenient, and they have their place. But live mealworms offer something different: freshness, movement, moisture, enrichment, and a feeding experience that feels much closer to what chickens naturally enjoy.

That is why at JinsGrowth, we do not dehydrate our mealworms.

We harvest them fresh and pack them live, so your chickens get a treat that is a little closer to nature.
