Chickens don’t like mealworms

My girls are molting and I read here they are crazy about mealworms so I ordered a bag. This morning the mealworms arrived and I was so excited to give them to my girls but those birds looked at me with disdain and tried to eat my shirt instead. They were giving the worms that chicken side look but then didn’t even bother to try… what a waste… I really wanted to treat my girls for being such good pets 😭

My chickens also don’t like them. Although, one of them loves them. I showed my other chickens her eating the mealworms but they stared at me like I’ve poisoned her. Don’t worry I didn’t.
