@Papaye hello if you are still here and keeping quail, how did it go with the allergies? I’d heard of quail protein being hypoallergenic but not treating other allergies, interesting.
If rats are stealing eggs they are probably also stealing the bird feed, if you mix chilli powder with it the...
I looked it up, defra doesn’t approve of dried mealworms but fresh are fine, they’re worried the worms may have consumed or have been in contact with meat. Not sure why, they eat grains and are no more likely to be cross contaminated than anything else.

Thanks, it is really heartbreaking watching her decline, mentioning any kind of change to the way she eats in as kind a way as I can is literally like asking her to change her religion, I can be blunt in my communication but am always well intended, I don’t think any kind of approach would get...
@saysfaa Agreed, there’s often an insensitive to find a particular result.
Not sure about the first bean lady, it doesn’t say much about her methods, I’d have to look her up.
The flaw in the second link is pretty obvious though, they’re talking about a short term lethal dose. Tiny amounts of...

‘The soy I feed is grown in the same county I live in. Or the next one, maybe.’
This is reassuring to hear, I wish the same could be said here...
@saysfaa I quoted it on page 8..
‘The hepatoprotective effects of Spirulina have been well documented in poultry, including in the study by Selim et al. (2018), who observed significant improvements in liver function biomarkers in laying hens. Specifically, dietary supplementation with...
@Mother of Chaos The soya we import here is grown on an area the size of wales of freshly cut rainforest, that’s why it’s cheap. The offset cost is the health of your birds, the planet, and you.
I can’t find a suitable pellet feed for my needs here either so I make my own.
An accurate...
Fair point, but they react pretty much the same to high lectin feed as most farmed animals, it’s used preferably to other foods because of its ability to quickly fatten them up for saluter. Works great for humans too.
Lectins via a process of bio mimicry that I don’t fully understand cause you...
Perhaps food should be added to religion and politics in the list of things we shouldn’t discuss and this whole section on the forum should be deleted?
I went to a professional nutritionalist and she gave me all the information above, since then I no longer suffer with multiple autoimmune...
@saysfaa weird I just got this message from you in my email but it’s not appeared here :/..
‘You don't think the rate humans started eating white sugar, white oils, white flour, and white salt causes those things?

@rockethoe Not sure about it but I think it’s ok if you raise the mealworms yourself, you’re just not allowed to buy them in? I’d like to know if anyone can answer this?
I got a lot of negativity the last time I suggested it so apologies in advance if this upsets anyone but chlorella is worth...
@U_Stormcrow It’s a genuine question regarding a serious issue, the way we are feeding livestock is damaging the soil and causing obesity, autoimmune disease, and leaky gut syndrome in humans. Chlorella is a superior nutrient dense alternative with various nutraceutical properties that can help...
This might be of interest to some, I wonder if it also offers any protection from avian influenza.
