Feeding Old Organ Meat

Why take a chance???????????

I do this often, like once per week during the colder months.

I have a larger pot that I will put all questionable scraps, meat especially, into. I add water and boil for an hour or so. This eliminates any concerns about mold or bacteria.

I then add enough rice to absorb the water, and simmer for at least another 15 minutes. I let the pot cool overnight, and then treat the flock the next morning.

The energy used will offset the energy needed to warm my home...

No waste in my household, I would do the same in your situation.

Hope this helps.

Thats a fantastic idea! Will pork organs work as well? We have both from beef and pork.

Cooking is probably safer, although raw meat is probably OK, but I think I cooking will make it more tender and easier to eat.

In fact, if you’re cooking I wouldn’t bother chopping.

Chickens are scavengers.

Chickens are scavengers.

But they are also living creatures. I do not offer spoiled food, like fruit that is rotten. Why would I risk offering raw meat with possible high amounts of dangerous bacteria to them.
Scavenger only means they will eat what they can find. In the wild,, many animals do perish due to bad meals.
