How many calci worms should I feed my hens?

Calci worms are a simple, natural treat for hens, but many owners want to know how much to feed.

A good rule of thumb is to feed around 10g per hen, per day as a treat.

That means:

- 1 hen = 70g per week
- 2 hens = 140g per week
- 3 hens = 210g per week
- 4 hens = 280g per week
- 5 hens = 350g per week

Our pack sizes are designed around this weekly feeding guide, so it is easy to choose the right amount based on the size of your flock.

Calci worms should be fed as part of a balanced diet, alongside your hens’ usual feed and access to fresh water.

They are a natural way to add variety and enrichment to your hens’ routine, while keeping feeding simple for you.
