+1. A snake oil gimmick. Suddenly the world needs 'omega 3' or we're all going to waste away and die of malnutrition and get dumber as it happens! Chickens shouldn't have survived since they weren't getting their daily dose of omega 3 (yet they have)!
35 years ago it was 'eggs are going to kill you!', all of a sudden it's 'eat your eggs!'.
Unfortunately too many people fall for these kinds of things and keep it going (believe it or not, there's a huge number of people who fall for those moronic e-mails from some dolt in africa asking to share millions of dollars! Hmmm...makes you wonder which is the actual dolt...the victim or the jerk who's trying to steal your money. Want to learn more about that? Go here http://www.419eater.com/index.php )
There are other reasons besides the Omega 3 angle to use this feed, I cited 2. The pellets are smaller & my guineas liked that and the chickens did also. I think some pellets are way too large. Second, and I'm assuming here that since the feed is 16% & has higher protein flax seed in it, hopefully they use less soy, which is fine with me. You don't want to buy it, then don't!! I am not a fan of Purina regular feeds, but I liked this one. I also pay extra for Mazuri Game Bird Breeder, because I like fish meal & less soy in my feed and I like that the feed is little tiny balls, not pellets & not crumbles. Just what I do, you can do what you want.
