Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

So is MSG a poison or is it just to attract them to a poisoned bait?
It is used in lots of foods.

Its toxic in that concentration.

Its also why many people react poorly to it in food. Not a nice food additive.

Mrs Oz is just leaving Bacolod. I have requested pics of the remaining legbars.

Interesting effects in a substance which is "completely safe".

Like so many things, it depends on the dose/concentration

A cat got into our brooder house last night and decimated the chicks that were hatched from the eggs I took over last trip. Just heads were eaten as the hole was not big enough to get chick through the hole.

These were my most precous birds. All but one Polish, five Legbars and all but 3 New Hampshires.

This is one of the few days since this adventure began that I ever felt like throwing in the towel.

Instead I will be throwing some MSG into a can of sardines.

tighten up security in the brooder house as much as possible & hatch on OZ

when going to the store i make it a point to check the labels of items i am thinking of purchasing

if i find MSG listed in the contents i make a point of throwing said item back onto the shelf

at the same time i say in a loud voice "I don't want to eat poison"

for some reason i have never been questioned by store employees

but i'm not sure why

I agree. MSG is not something that is commonly used where I grew up. Here it is listed as an ingredient in many products. Well, a lot more than I would expect

all things in moderation.... even drinking too much water can kill you....
