digitS' : Wifezilla, that site also published a "How to eat if you have gout" webpage where they advise: "Restriction of purine intake, Meat and meat products: consume only 1 - 3 portions per week (80 - 120 g)." Let's leave aside the fact that the Greek military took control of Egypt and...

Well, being that my chickens are confined for the winter, the need for protein is especially important so that they don't peck at each other which they did when I didn't give them a high enough protein level, (a common problem that I read about on BYC) when I just gave them 17% protein layer...

Quote: I finally took the time to read your link. That was so interesting, I decided to post it so that one doesn't have to go to the link. Thanks Wifezilla for another informative study that goes to prove that high protein reduces not only your chances of getting gout, but also cholesterol...

Quote: The reason the ancient egyptian soldiers were more healthy is because they ate grains like Spelt, and Kamut which are much higher in protein than regular wheat. Spelt has up to 26% more protein than wheat, and Kamut, up to 40% more protein. Spelt also has life saving benefits of...

Quote: I wasn't suggesting that you were suggesting that anyone feed their chickens 70% protein. I was making a statement that when studies are done, extremely high amounts of whatever the study is for are given to the chicken, person, rat, etc, and then causes everyone to get frightened that...

Even if earthworms and termites ended up being 60 to 70% protein, when combined with a chicken's other foraging, grass, weeds, leaves, kitchen scraps, etc. the total percentage of protein in a chicken's diet would not end up being 70% which is supposed to have caused gout in chickens in that...

Quote: Who in the world would ever give their chickens 70% protein?!!! I think this thread is going a little bit far-I don't believe anyone has suggested that anybody should give their chickens this much protein! Yes, I realize this was done from a study, but my goodness!!! 70%?!! This is...

Quote: When doing some searching on the internet last night about different types of chickens because we are getting ready to put in an order, I ran across a site that mentioned that rooster's business really puts stress on the rooster itself, and that they need a higher protein diet than...

Quote: Let's see, in my lifetime of complete free choice feeding of dog food and cat food, we've had numerous German Shepherds, numerous Collies, numerous mutts from the pound, an Irish setter, a Bishon Frise, a Daschund, a Pekinese, and a Poodle, amidst numerous cats and their umpteen dozen...

Quote: 2 eggs a day? winter or not? Perhaps an ignorant newspaper reporter will buy this nonsense , or Disney will make a new movie out of it. ( Suggested tile : 2 eggies a day from a golden chick) Some people really need to see a shrink. Perhaps you simply haven't been on this forum...

And here I thought everyone knew that a lack of calcium is what causes calcium leaching from the bones, causing calcium deposits and the like. But then not everyone subscribes to holistic magazines, or takes courses on nutrition like others have for the past 20 years. I was diagnosed with gout...

Quote: They would eat the whole bag, until their body gives them time to adjust, just like any other dog, and then they would stop gorging themselves, just like any other dog! It's been proven over and over and over again! Nearly everybody gives their chicks starter feed with high...

Their other mother: Perhaps this will be helpful in diagnosing the crippled feet of your chicken. This was found on the Poultry Site. Tuesday, February 10, 2009 Vitamin Deficiency Caused Leg Problem in Broilers UK - The December 2008 Monthly Disease Surveillance Report from the Veterinary...

digitS' : Quote: My guess is that he was crippled by gout from too much calcium in the layer feed. It is 5 or 6 times higher in calcium than starter. How old were the chicks when they went on layer feed? We are only 14 weeks out from Thanksgiving right now. And only 9 weeks out from New...

Quote: Go figure!!! There are those that don't understand the need for higher protein in the lives of their animals. The higher protein is not bad for their liver. What IS bad for the liver, is meats from animals that were raised with antibiotics and artificial hormones. That's why we only...

Quote: I'm confused, I thought that grower crumbles is higher in protein because chicks need higher protein. Layer crumbles is supposed to have lower protein. You ended up giving them layer crumbles when they should have had starter crumbles (I understand that the store was out) and 2 weeks...

Quote: This is usually only a problem for dogs and cats when their are given the wrong kind of foods. They gorge themselves in an attempt to get the proper level of nutrients that they can't get from a normal amount of food. The most common cause of pet obesity is the same cause of many cases...

There's a person that gives his chickens 1/3 game bird feed, 1/3 layer pellets, and 1/3 chicken crumbles who claims his chickens give him 2 eggs a day from each hen even in winter time because of the higher protein content. Personally, I don't consider this too much protein. Just look at what...
