Non GM? What is this?

[Nikitaa]

Okay, so.. I'm looking for new feed for my chickens because they seem to be terribly underweight. I'll be done worming them on this Sunday, and as I've seen no worms in the poo I assume this means they're worm free?

But I just want to change their food and hopefully find one that's giving them what they need and are apparently lacking due to their breast bones sticking out in a ghastly way.

What does Non GM mean? And what brands would you say are best for fattening up birds and is available in the UK.

GM might be "Genetically Modified". Here it's commonly called GMO.

from Wikipedia:

A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques, generally known as recombinant DNA technology, use DNA molecules from different sources, which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferred into an organism, giving it modified or novel genes. Transgenic organisms, a subset of GMOs, are organisms that have inserted DNA from a different species. GMOs are the constituents of genetically modified foods.
