    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    Your prior statement was that food poisoning came not from contaminated eggs, but from being left out too long. You cannot simply rule out contaminated eggs as the source of the bacteria that caused the food poisoning, but you did. Bacteria grow faster in some temperature ranges than in others...

    a little help please

    You say she was, and still is, in very bad shape, but you don't describe anything being wrong with her except not eating what you expect her to eat. Does she have any symptoms of being sick? Running up to you and not running away from you doesn't sound like she's sick, just friendly. Why do...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    The bacteria that grow in the potato salad when it is left out too long came from someplace. They may come from a contaminated egg, they may come from contamination in another ingredient and they may come from contaminated hands handling the food. But it's not just being left out of refrigeration.

    Differences EE, Ameraucana, & Araucana * Pls post pics*

    If I understand correctly, Ameraucauna is recognized as a breed - but two fully documented, recognized, authentic Ameraucaunas can produce offspring that are Not acceptable as meeting Ameraucauna breed standards? That doesn't sound like a "breed" to me. I guess I'm just as glad that I'm...

    Another question about Coop & Run Flooring (2 question actually)

    Definitely learned something useful from this thread. That Blackjack #57 looks like a very good solution to the floor covering problem and I'll be trying to remember it ;) Thanks.

    Question on GMO feed

    Bear Foot Farm - You keep repeating the same falsehood, that no one has provided scientific information that GMO's are bad for us. It won't become true just by repetition. Denying something does not make it go away. You just attack any study that does not support your belief, refusing to...

    Raising Meat birds in a garden for compost.

    Can't imagine what the problem would be. Kitchen scraps are fine for chickens. The straw and manure you clean out from your layers has had some time to break down at this point and is likely populated with lots of bugs for the meat birds to go after. Probably should not plan on taking the...

    Question on GMO feed

    And your words more than imply that you cannot help yourself about twisting anything to fit your prejudices. It has been stated repeatedly that GMO crops do no harm. That is a falsehood - you know, a lie. It has been stated that there are no studies establishing that they do cause harm...

    Question on GMO feed

    I am curious as to where you find the language limiting this to decisions of a lower court pending appeal. The words are not in the language you have quoted. The language you have quoted does, on its face, give the FDA authority to permit a farmer to continue doing business in a manner that has...

    Question on GMO feed

    mmm.. actually, I'm pretty certain it has been proven - as in, people have died from eating too many apple seeds at one sitting. Chemicals used in chemotherapy are a delicate balancing act, because they are toxic to the patient, not just to the target cancer cells. Dosage has to be handled...

    Question on GMO feed

    Just a couple of things here. Hybridization does not involve using a virus to introduce genetic material from an unrelated species into the genetic structure of an organism. Genetic Modification does exactly that. Hybridization happens in nature all the time - GMO does not happen naturally...

    Question on GMO feed

    This is a fallacy. It does not require GMO to produce large crops, it does not even require insecticides or herbicides. Farming can be done very successfully using pesticide free methods, without using herbicides. Agribusiness farming is itself a self-limiting approach that destroys the soil...

    Question on GMO feed

    I guess I need to ask you what you consider to be "real proof". I need to ask that in order to understand why it is that you are dismissing out of hand all of the research that has been done that does show health problems related to GMO crops. You don't say "no research has shown that GMOs...

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    I think that the point about Alaska was not "please tell me not to keep chickens because of where I live" but "be aware there are exceptions to the rule that you don't need to give chickens a heater to protect them from the cold". I know, that post was 400 pages back - I'm reading as fast as I...
