Organic Feed-What is the difference?

[risurocket]

That's what I thought, thanks for clarification!

 

[Arctichicken]

What about using the term "All Natural" if not using medications and antibiotics, etc.

I would probably by something that said All natural vs. a regular commercial product. Just a thought!

 

[DrakeMaiden]

That is another way to phrase it. However, I tend to consider "all natural" as an inferior term, because arsenic is found in the natural environment. JMO

 

[Arctichicken]

Oh I see, maybe All Natural/arsenic free! I know it's a stretch...

 

[DrakeMaiden]

You could say "All Natural Country Chicken -- not raised on Heavy Metal!"

 

[Arctichicken]

That's so true!!!

Hey, arctichicken, clean out your pm inbox!

 

[Davaroo]

This has been interesting and i thank everyone for the good information.

But I gotta say it - my chickens are still gonna get whats on sale at the mill.

 

[DrakeMaiden]

We all have different priorities. I'm glad you enjoyed the discussion anyway, Davaroo!
