I am interested in getting golden blonde flaxseed/linseed for my chickens, but what I have found online suggests that feeding it to chickens can be risky.
This link says that feeding chickens flaxseed/linseed can delay how long it takes for them to die of ovarian cancer: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/05/100504124740.htm
Meanwhile, this link says that feeding chickens flaxseed/linseed for long enough can promote the development of liver haemorrhages?!: https://articles.extension.org/pages/67350/using-flax-in-poultry-diets
So, does anyone have advice for how to feed flaxseed/linseed to chickens? Should I even bother if chickens eating it can have such variable results?
