I just found a product that I want to share here. I've been feeding soy-free since I began keeping chickens 6 years ago. One of the main issues we have is getting a good protein level, of course. I found that my birds did not like the field peas and would usually just leave them. I tried...

Specifically what do you feed?

Thanks for the link! Does anyone know where we can get organically grown sesame seeds for animal feed that are at feed seed prices rather than "fancy store" prices?

Thanks for posting. Thought this was worth reading so posting a link. It is regarding GM in general. The thesis of the article that was signed by 300 scientists regarding GM is that anyone that claim that GM is safe is not basing that on adequate testing even though they purport that...

If soy is fed it MUST BE ROASTED. Raw soy is toxic to chickens.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to answer this! Very busy at work and just sneaking in from time to time. I'll try to post something in the next day or 2.

Haven't commented on the thread in a long time but thought I'd say that I get my grains from a local feed mill to make my basic feed. When I originally started with chickens I had the mill make it to order (no soy, organic, and as much animal protein as possible with Fertrel as the mineral...

If you google you will find several produces...all quite salty. When I was googling, I happily found a relatively local feed mill that will make feed to order with organic ingredients, Fertrel Nutri-balancer, etc. I told them what I was looking for and they formulated with the protein/calcium...

One small correction... TOFU IS NOT FERMENTED... MISO IS FERMENTED. You're right...oriental countries ferment the soy they ate and even then only ate it in very small quantities like a condiment rather than a main food source. One of the things that soy is causing (due to it's prevalence in...

Thanks for posting that!

In my personal opinion: I would not feed soy at all - even roasted. I like to try to feed my animals items that they would eat if they were in their natural environment in the wild. Since soy is toxic in it's raw state you won't see them eating it. (And I'm pretty sure no one has ever seen...

Quote: Kind of a ridculous point. When did you see chickens sitting around a campfire roasting anything? Also, where does one find "wild chickens". The point is - if it is toxic to them in it's raw state, it isn't something that they should be eating. What would they eat if they...

Here are a couple other links you might be like taking a look at: (I just found this web site after reading a review of the author's book which I decided to buy but haven't gotten yet. There are overview articles on the web site and I think I'm going to like the book!)...

For me it is nutrition reasons. A huge percentage of soy & corn grown in the US is Genetically modified (GMO). There is a whole lot of information regarding the dangers of GMO foods out there if you look. The mercola.com website has a lot of that information with links to studies done on...
