During winter months, we take extra steps to protect your live insects:

• Insulated packaging
• Heated delivery vans
⚠️ Note: Beetles may arrive dormant due to cold exposure. This is a natural state and not a cause for concern.
🐞 How to Revive Dormant Beetles:
Unpack all containers to allow airflow
Keep them at room temperature (18°C–25°C / 64°F–77°F)
Avoid direct heat or rapid warming
Gently agitate bulk bags to spread the beetles
Allow several hours for full recovery
💡 Most beetles will revive if handled with care upon arrival.
🌡️ Why Temperature and Humidity Matter
For successful mealworm beetle egg production and colony health, maintaining the right conditions is essential:
- Ideal Temperature: 20–28°C (68–80°F)
- Ideal Humidity: 50–70%
Improper conditions can slow growth, promote mold, or attract dust mites.
🐔 Can Chickens Eat Mealworm Beetles?
Yes! Many poultry owners integrate live mealworm beetles into their flock's diet for added protein. Just ensure moderation and proper sourcing.
Boost your self-sufficiency and poultry health with high-yield, breeder-ready mealworm beetles from HatchingTime.
Complete Your Flock — Essentials Every Chicken Keeper Needs
Do you offer local pickup?
We offer scheduled local pickup for pullets and adult hens in Arizona through meetups in cities like Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Globe, Waddell, and Tucson. We do not operate a walk-in retail store or farm tours. Baby chicks, hatching eggs and quail are raised at our Texas location and ship by mail.
What time of year can you ship baby chicks?
Because we ship from Texas rather than directly out of Arizona's hottest months, we can offer baby chicks most of the year with adjustments around extreme heat or cold. Peak chick season fills early, so it's smart to reserve your ship window in advance for the breeds you want even though we do have off-season availability.
Where are you located?
The Arizona location is near Globe, AZ, though we do not operate a store. It is our home and farm. The Arizona location manages our seasonally grown hen orders. The Texas farm is located near Tyler, TX. The Texas location manages our breeders, baby chicks and quail. We ship year round from our Texas farm supporting families around the US.
Live Chick Guarantee
We go the extra mile and provide 115% store credit for any losses.
