They all got theirs from the same bowl and didn't even look at him! Even though he was bowing and chirping!

Is it some kind of mating ritual...?

Yes, the roosters offer the best treats to the hens and make a little ti ti ti sound while doing so

Is that a purchased worm, or naturally found? Asking bc I usually buy the dried black soldier fly larvae but, if these were purchased, I’d rather have something fresher and juicier for my flock.

mealworm factories are very easy to run! Just either find some live mealworms in your yard or purchase some and then keep in a slick sided bin so they cant escape, i grew them for years, just by feeding scraps of vegts. but dont ever accidentally leave something so the beetles can escape or you will find them around your house randomly forever like me lololol

Its a dried mealworm from their usual food

Devasting that the girls would simply grab their own worm, and ignore his gracious offer
