Yep, you got that right........Yep, to each his own. Been working for me since I first got chickens and, like you, see no reason to change now!
I am not sure?...That may have cost you 5 Cents?........lol.......Please permit me to inject my two cents. I read every post with the stated reasons why the posters believe it's a bad idea to give chicken livers to chickens, and there was only one reason offered that had any validity. That was that liver has high iron content. But that isn't really of much concern since you aren't feeding chicken livers as a routine. It would be in the context of an occasional treat, and the iron would make very little if any difference in your flock's diet over the long haul.
Of course, we each have our "ick"limits. We're entitled to that. But I require a little more science than what I've been offered in this thread as to why it's not good to feed chicken livers to chickens.
If I happened to eat meat on a regular basis (which I don't) and I had a chicken I was cooking, I'd certainly have no misgivings about boiling up the liver and gizzard and chopping them up, and watching my chickens joyfully and eagerly gobble them up.
