One thing to add ... you folks doing breeding projects and maintaining your own 'barnyard mixes' do so much to further the cause of raising chickens. Granted, as this thread has made clear, there are so many different things people want to get out of their chicken experience. In some cases...

Do you know what you will plant in your grazing box?

I can certainly find value in your approach. Also, I wouldn't say that high-production chicken farms are advancing the well-being of the chicken. But my hens locked up in their spacious coop and run seem pretty happy. I see it like dogs. working dogs, retreivers, toy, they all are looking...

I have to say, I find these conversations fascinating. There's no way my 1/2 acre lot in SW PA could support birds without my feeding them. The kids would be extremely sad if we lost one to a predator. So, they only get out of their secure run occasion.ally throughout the week. One thing I...

Would you expect that the jungle fowl got their Methionine / Lysine from eating small animals? Perhaps a key to successful foraging would be an abundance of small animals and birds able to get them. (still problematic for most people/locations)

AMSI is just a hosting place where the article is stored. Do you prefer to read it from MIT site? https://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/2017/SamselSeneff_Glyphosate_VI_final.pdf That was just part 4. Other parts are hosted on a .gov site, if you like yourself some .gov's...

Ha! you are right! I first read 'no violative levels' as to be 'deemed small.' I'll edit my post.

It's not just 'cancer.' Here's an interesting read from The Journal of Biological Physics and Chemistry: Glyphosate pathways to modern diseases VI: Prions, amyloidoses and autoimmune neurological diseases http://www.amsi.ge/jbpc/11717/25SA16A.pdf But you are absolutely right, it affects more...

Frankly, I'm not overly worried about how glyphosate affects my chickens directly. It's only because I'm eating their eggs that I'm concerned. I'm not worried about what the pet rabbit eats. <edited below, as link does not support my statement.> We do know that glyphosate finds its way into...

I sure wish I had time to do more research into this. Instead, I rely on nutrition resources that I have found to be the most reliable over the years. (Sadly, I don't even follow those as closely as I would like. ) Then, there are sources of which I am highly dubious. Key factors I use to...

My main reason for avoiding soy is to avoid glyphosate exposure.

Hens that fall victim to predators definitely do NOT lay healthy eggs.
