Vitamin D-3

[Symphony]

I heard that free ranged chickens get more Vitamin D-3 than caged, inturn makes the eggs better for you. But, if a man where to go out in the sun with long sleeves he wouldnt get as much vitamin d as short sleeved, How do chickens get so much Vitamin D-3, even though their covered in feathers?

My guess is that it isn't a complete shield. When one wears a t-shirt in the sun, it has a SPF rating that isn't really high.

I'm just guessing!

I dont know if this has anything to do with it, but my girls sun bathe, all 4 of them spread one wing at a time out, then rotate! I thought something was wrong the first time I saw them doing it!! lol
