Hello,
I have had chickens for over 30 years and I do just fine with my flock. I do have some hens that are starting to slow don on the laying and I have an experiment in mind. I would like to raise eggs with white yolks. I have seen and eaten these eggs in Tanzania. From what I hear the color come from the corn they eat.
I have read that chickens will eat uncooked rice. I want to separate my older hens and free feed them a diet of uncooked rice. They will still have room to walk around outside and all the bugs they can find. I am wondering what other supplements I need to give the chickens to compliment the uncooked rice. Organic is not my goal but I could head in that direction.
I also have a friend that gets migraines when she eats store bought eggs. If this works I would like to see if she could eat one of these.
Waddya think? Any suggestions? I am only thinking this thru before I make a move but I think it would be a neat experiment.
Thanks,
John
