I make my own also, but I’d never waste it on a bitter liberal 🤢

Here is something to ponder. Using chicken eggs to grow Covid 19 vaccines without deadly mRna and it accompaniying spike.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33191178/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34706134/

Significance and impact of the study: IgY targeting S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 could be a promising candidate for pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis or treatment of COVID-19. Administration of IgY-based oral preparation, oral or nasal spray may have profound implications for blocking SARS-CoV-2.

This was known as early as 11/3/20

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1567576922007640?via%3Dihub

Highlights

• This study focus on producing specific IgY of S1,RBD, spike glycoprotein and nucleocapsid protein from chicken egg.

• The specific S1,RBD,N-IgY has binding ability to nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2.

• The specific S1,RBD,N-IgY has a potential neutralization capacity to inhibit the RBD-ACE2 binding interaction.

5. Conclusion

This present study underlines the ability of a laying hen immune system to produce polyclonal specific IgY in the serum and egg yolk. Recombinant S1 and RBD spike glycoprotein and N protein were able to induce specific S1,RBD,N-IgY with neutralizing capacity to inhibit the binding interaction between RBD and ACE2 receptor, suggesting the feasibility of specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgY production for controlling COVID-19.

A promising avenue of research in a more traditional manner that doesn’t involve mRna or the dangerous spike. Again this was known as early as 11/3/20

Let that sink in.

Been a hunter since I was a little boy. Learned from my granny how to wet age, dry age, and pepper-cure all kinds of meat. From thunder-chickens to blackies. ( turkey and bear).

I think I could process a liberal.

Actually, poultry farms are more vulnerable to fire than, say, dairy farms. The bedding used for poultry is highly flammable. In the past, the heat lamps and brooding lamps were the most likely sources of ignition, but these days there are safer options available.

NOT saying that all these fires are accidental, there have been too many of them in a short time to be a coincidence. But, if a person were looking to destroy livestock with fire, a poultry farm is a very vulnerable target. With larger animals like pigs or cattle, I think the amount of wet manure everywhere would at least slow the fire down.

(This is based entirely on what I’ve observed in the farms I have personally visited. YMMV.)

Perhaps. Likely to be dry, bitter and sour. I’ll stick with deer, elk and pheasant.

I’ve started researching snails as chicken feed. It’s hard to find enough data to do the kind of analysis I would like, but so far they look promising.

With home-grown chicken food, it’s easy to get too much protein, and hard to get enough calcium. Too much protein can actually cause organ damage in chickens. Snails in the shell *might* have the right balance of the two, when combined with greens and seeds. But like I said, some of the data is hard to find.

I know you're right. Most people don't seem to want to take the time to search out the facts. Readily available on the USDA's website. Reported by the farmers, if any thing they are short because of a semi natural reluctance to answer surveys. Thank you.

It seems everything is out there, no secrets. You only have to look.
Folks are so worried about eggs and vaccinated animals but not crispr chickens, beef or pigs.

Glad that Ya'll gave this here wisdom about Too Much Protein
in a chicken and it does too much damage to their organs.

I accidentally gave my folks flock (5 barred rocks, 2 Buff Orpingtons and 1 Australorp)
about 6-cups of Tractor Supply Flock Party-brand of meal-worms...

...which are also grown in Chy-Na.

So, to balance the mealworm protein from this afternoon,
I countered w/ a homemade fruit salad (granny smith apples, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe melon and watermelon).

And My -oh-My-oh-My if they don't go all in a flutter over out-of-season-fruits.

My neighbor works at removing Zebra mussels from the waterways. He brings some home and feeds them to his chickens.

Yep.

They kill the local shellfish which is why he is free to take as many as he wants.

I have a lot of oyster shell, not entirely on purpose, so I have no interest in them for our little flock but some of our neighbors are talking about trying it.

And at Free the price is right.
