Your silkies were deciding/debating if chancing getting worms from grubs were worth the treat. (grubs, earthworms, insects, ET... are hosts for worms like cecal worms, et... while the grubs may not be infested, you never know)

For the past several weeks since it got cold, I have been throwing alfalfa in the pens. Twice a day, I rake it all up into a big pile, toss on a bit of scratch and the chickens go wild. About 10 minutes after I have raked it up, it is scattered everywhere again.
Yesterday, I emptied a big pot that I had horseradish in. I found 23 grub worms in the dirt. You should have seen the commotion when I started throwing them one by one into the pens. The Orps scarfed them up. The Silkies stood around them and had a committee meeting to decide whether they were fit to eat.
