Make sure you never fall over unconscious in the coop. There will be nothing left.

this is so random but speaking of peoples opinions of food....i had an old lady at my work talk to me about eating healthy and i was like oh yeah i eat organic and i try to grow my own food as often as i can and she stopped me and looked terrefied and I'm like what

she said " do you know what they grow that organic food in"

i said "What?!"

( i was seriously like oh god is there something she knows that i should know thats bad or something)

She said "poop"

iiiiiiiii could not keep a strait face for the life of me and i literally had to just walk away........lol

Let's just hope that she never reads the FDA's handbook of what they allow in food. She'll die of starvation. Made the mistake of reading through how many rat hairs and mold spores not to mention insect pieces that they allow in our foods and they still qualify as fit...lol

Mine too, pretty much.

We've had that discussion here. I don't let my deer leavings go to waste when processing, the birds LOVE it and clean the bones right up.

And yep, I love chickens. Fried. Rotisseried. Roasted. Breaded. Grilled. Barbecued. And walking around entertaining me and being productive members of the farmstead.

And yes, I can hatch them, name them, raise them, and eat them, all in due time.

Right! good god...i don't even try to educate people at work or in the grocery anymore about the things in what there buying cause i feel like i took all there presents away on christmas. I'm just like...ya know what....eat that mcdonalds.....but keep it the flock away from me.

I know that food I eat fresh out of the garden isn't "clean"...but at least it's local dirt!

If they have time to count rat hairs, why don't they have time to control the rats?

good point on the rat hairs.....reallllly good point

our potatoes actually only grow in horse poo.

Risingeagle, I got rid of my FB account for the same reason. This goes to show people can get overly heated toward people they don't know, anywhere -- and over any subject. Good luck with your search!

(And for everyone else's information, I eat meat, and am an animal rights activist. Those ideas needent be mutually exclusive.)

Woah, the last thing I wanted to do on here was start an argument! I don't think its fair to say I asked this question to troll or ruffle feathers. I've intentionally stayed out of this debate.
Remember my initial question was if it was safe to eat an embryo that was already dead. I asked because I didn't want to kill a living egg either. But everybody said it was not, but wanted to know what balut tasted like, so I asked if there was a humane way to kill them before boiling.
I'm not interested in a debate, I haven't even decided if I'm going to make balut or not yet. But the decision I make will not be made based upon the opinions of some people online I don't even know.
Like I said I've cancelled my fb account to avoid drama like this, so if y'all keep fighting imjust gonna delete this thread. I'll let you know what balut is like over pm.
And BTW killing an eating a duck embryo humanely (like I intend to) is absolutely no different than eating a full grown chicken. And that's all I have to say on this matter.
If you don't like it, go complain on the boards for butchering and cooking chicken. I'm done with this discussion.

I'm not sure who you think is arguing, I think that was over a few pages ago.

Just as I do not eat a chicken I find dead in the coop (even if it wasn't dead a couple of hours ago), I would not eat any food item that I did not know what it died from, whether plant or animal. Animal has the potential to be much more hazardous to your health. So whatever you choose to eat is your choice, but for your health make sure it's healthy before you eat it.
