http://www.sciencefriday.com/segment/01/10/2014/food-failures-how-to-spoil-your-food-and-eat-it-too.html With all the talk here on fermented feed, I heard this today and thought others might be interested.

Here is the reply I just received from the company who's tag was on the bags of beans. "Yesterday I was able to get an update on your concerns. I was told that the soybeans this year did have a poor crop. With the product being 2+ months old there was nothing we can do at this point. It...

Somebody out there should know what roasted soybeans look like? I need some knowledge so I can return them if they are poor quality.

I wanted to add pics of the roasted soybeans I purchased to see what others think. After two month of forcing them on our birds we're having to switch to a commercial food because of low protein issues. Everyone I've talked to says that their chickens love roasted soybeans and our chickens...

I'd like to say that I made a neat row of sod in the barn but the reality is that it is still piled on a small garden trailer, where it will probably stay for the winter.

We live in a very wintery area and our chickens had to move into the barn for the winter. So they would have grit and other good stuff that comes from soil, I dug up a couple hundred pounds of sod/soil from our meadow. They get about a ten pound lump every week and love eating the grass...

We recently tried switching our chickens from a prepared chicken food to a recipe including roasted soybeans. Our co-op ordered us roasted soybeans and our chickens will not touch them and these are birds that will eat anything. In researching, there is much mention of roasted soybeans...
