Does it seem healthy? I really wish you had a picture!

Lots of meat duck producers feed their ducks feed that will make them grow faster.
That is pretty normal.

normal doesnt mean right. i have birds to get away from pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and disease

how do you post a picture?

Go to where is says uploads at the top of the screen and click that then load the picture you have from your computer on that page and it should show you the picture with 2 different texts under it. Copy and paste the one that says image to where you want to post it.

I'm pretty sure they give cows artificial growth hormones in the US...

they definately do. ever wonder why teenage girls are filling out alot earlier than they used to. its all because of the meat industry. i believe that why autism rates have gone up by a few hundred percent in the last few decades as well. if anyone has a chance i recommend watching Food Inc. its a documentary about the modern food bussiness. you can get it on watch instantly on netflix.

Most of the chickens grown commercially in the U.S. are fed growth hormones before slaughter. Another term is called "green chickens". They are taken off it 1 to 2 months prior. And who dont love eating fried chicken.

Huh. I guess you guys are right. I had not thought of it that way. I thought he was saying they do it deliberately to make the offspring stay small. But you're absolutely right--chemicals in everything. That's why I buy pasture-fed beef from local farmers I know personally, and grow my own eggs. I didn't know that the offspring of heavily drugged animals would fail to grow well, but it definitely makes sense. Sheesh. And then we put that stuff in our own bodies. What is this world coming to?

It's very scary!
