Longtime Lurker Finally Joined

Welcome to BYC!
Most of us probably started out as "lurkers", that's okay. You had to cross on over in order to feed that fowl addiction adequately.

Hello and welcome to BYC! So happy to have you in our community. I sure hope they don't like peanuts. They get enough of my goodies that I share with them, but please, not my peanuts! Next thing they'll be demanding are the Reese's pieces.

Welcome to the group. I'd like to ask exactly what evidence you have that showed that decade-old post was full of bad information, and that you requested the thread be deleted? I'd love to have sources as I too have been looking into it and I have found none that absolutely said do not feed chickens dried peanuts. Many people have said that they have feed dry peanuts to their flock with no problems. Just not raw, green peanuts, nor their shells.
The reason I was looking is that my daughter, who is in FFA, is doing a project testing if peanuts will increase the size of the eggs laid. https://www.sciencebuddies.org/scie...p020/zoology/chicken-diet-egg-size#background This is the website where we uncovered the project. There was a 2004 California State Science Fair project titled, "Do Peanuts Make Chickens Lay Bigger Eggs?", that you can also Google.
I do not claim to be an expert in poultry as we are learning with my daughter's FFA SAE project of raising poultry to sell eggs. I am simply asking questions to better educate myself and her with sound facts and information backed up by reliable sources.
