how to get hens to eat ground soy?

[Altairsky]

If you raise organic then I assume your chickens can free range.
In this case, your chickens will get some proteins from bugs and herbs.
In my country some organic meat birds farms feed the chickens milk, not sure how feasible it is in your country.
My chickens likes to steal cowpeas from my vegetable garden, but they're probably a nono in your climate.
I'm not sure if raw soy is good for chickens either.
I feed my chickens a seed mix, but I supplement with meat and cottage cheese or yoghurt from my own cows when there are not enough bugs around.
Quite a tricky problem to solve.

I looked it up, defra doesn’t approve of dried mealworms but fresh are fine, they’re worried the worms may have consumed or have been in contact with meat. Not sure why, they eat grains and are no more likely to be cross contaminated than anything else.

Strange Europe has declared them safe for human consumption but defra is worried about giving them to poultry.

More difficult to use fresh as you’d need to mix up enough for one day at a time but it would be permitted.
