Great product for the chicken(s) in your life. They love them! My experience has been to share larval products with wild birds. This has not been the case. My wild birds will not touch them. I keep a supply of another product for this purpose.
My chics loved them

In a blind taste test against dried meal worms, our backyard birds choose...
Fletch✓ Verified Purchase•June 22, 2023
We were looking to an alternative to the imported dried meal worms for our backyard wild birds. So, we decided to give the Grubblies a try. As an experiment, we put two cups of Grubblies in a feeder and two cups of dried meal worms in an identical feeder beside it. After about 2 days, the meal worms were completely gone while the Grubblies had barely been touched. We left the Grubblies in the feeder and about 4 days later, they, too, were mostly gone.
So, from this initial experiment, our wild birds choose meal worms over Grubblies. However, that does not mean the Grubblies are not better or that they will not get eaten by wild birds, just that they are not (yet) preferred to the dried meal worms.
Our plan now is to mix the Grubblies and meal worms together in the feeder. If this is successful (i.e. if the Grubblies aren't left behind as the meal worms are consumed), then we may be able to conclude that it's an acquired taste. Will report back later on this experiment.
For your information, our primary backyard meal worm eaters are eastern blue birds, northern mockingbirds, carolina wrens, and the odd northern cardinal. We hope the Grubblies will be a success not only because of the US source, but also for the extra calcium and nutrients they provide as we go into mating season.
The four star rating has nothing to do with my experiments and may be unfair. I'm taking off one star only for the cost difference compared to the meal worms. I have no problems with the Grubblies themselves and as they are not intended for wild birds primarily, I can't fault them for not being preferred so far by our wild birds.
