Store Bought - Vegetarian Fed???

[Winston1]

Never really paid attention until I had my flock of 6 [minus 1 Winston RIP]...why do egg marketing people think it's a good thing to market on the egg carton "VEGETARIAN FED"????? That to me, would signal "unhealthy" as chickens that free range eat bugs, worms, insects....it's what they do.

This is bonkers to me as chickens are carnivores...I mean, it can't be for those vegan weirdos because that doesn't make sense. What is going on here, could someone explain to me?

You mean Chickens are Omnivores? Cuz they're not Carnivores.

It's a marketing thing.

I agree. It took me ages to find food that wasn’t soy-based.
