Feed Tests - More Results

[3KillerBs]

I fed mine Purina organic and saw a decline in their quality, stale and bug ridden.

It's hardly Purina's fault if the store didn't rotate the stock properly or store it safely.

Stale, bug ridden feed is typically as result of poor storage after manufacture by warehousers and retailers, not by the manufacturers. Those same storage practices can also encourage mildews and similar - again, not good eats, but not evidence of any more vast conspiracy than incompetance in inventory control and order management.

I work in retail and I can tell you that failure to follow FIFO -- First In, First Out -- is a perennial problem with low-skill, low-wage workers and that this ongoing staffing crisis where we can't keep people makes it worse and worse.

Oh yeah. And "further" needs to be more than the first or second site that Google finds.

One of the best professors I had would do this (music professor):

"Professor, why is a 'Picardy third' called a 'Picardy third'?"

"Sally, you're going to look that up and tell us all on Wednesday."

This was before the internet, so it meant a trip to the library, no 3 minutes on the computer.

Assuming google even allows it to return all results

No more than a library contains everything ever written on a subject...

So true. I actually have a client that doesn’t want white eggs from me because the brown ones are healthier.

I have both and it did happen early on that people tried to teach me that... I thought about it, and slowly replied "you know all my hens eat from the same bowl..." (Did they think I was giving better food to half the flock?)

There was one place which seemed credible which said different breeds will "put" more of the nutrition of their feed into their eggs, but now that I see the girls... I suspect my white bantam which are dead skinny and make huge eggs are likely doing the "passing it forward" to their eggs more than my much smarter brown-egg girls, who don't make themselves sick for the benefit of an egg.

Even the bad tasting store bought eggs are going to be so similar in macro nutrients to us it’s not a massive difference if you are solely going after what an egg provides.

Ok, seperate corners and chill, kids. Taint Worth it.

Sorry I’m open to any thoughts on here by anyone just think it’s not cool to point at any one location and group them together. Could have been any nationality and I would have responded the same.

I get that and I agree with your last few posts but it's best not to feed the gremlins.

I just used a laughing emoticon but not in a [veiled] offensive way, I hope.

I thought "I got tagged! I'm somebody now! " was funny. I must be somebody too.

I'm glad. It was meant to be funny!

Well duh. Bill Gates owns stock in Google too.

You know, this is going to be an unpopular statement, but I really don't notice a taste difference.
