The Reality of Eggs. 🥚🥚🥚

1. Eggs are one of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat and the single best source or bioavailable choline, needed for brain and liver function. Everyone should eat at least 2-4 eggs a day.

2. Unlike ruminants, chickens (and pigs) have acid-based monogastric digestive systems which are unable to effectively filter out or transform the contents of their feed.

3. Most chicken, whether convential or "pasture raised regenerative", is full of linoleic acid, food estrogens, and allergens. These end up in eggs.

4. To get the best of all worlds, source eggs from shops that specifically design an ancestral, low PUFA feed for their regenerative pastured chickens. The only source I'm aware of at the moment is Nourish Coop (prev Angel Acres).

Want to start your own low PUFA egg operation? 🥚🥚🥚

Came up with a reasonable starting place for feed, using #Grok, by researching the wild jungle fowl's ancestral diet, then iterating to make a feed practical to create at scale for the average person and with low PUFA, moderate MUFA, high SFA.

- 50% dried insects (crickets or mealworms) for protein

- 20% chopped greens (clover or dandelion) for micronutrients

- 10% crushed berries or fruit scraps for sugars and vitamins

- 15% fat blend (75% coconut oil, 25% macadamia nut oil) for low-PUFA fats

- 5% crushed eggshells, limestone, or oyster shell (choose based on availability) for calcium

Source insects and greens from local U.S. farms, berries or scraps from markets, coconut oil from distributors, macadamia oil from Hawaiian growers, and eggshells, limestone, or oyster shell from local suppliers or your flock. Mix dry components, blend oils to avoid clumping, add fresh greens daily.

Cheers.

Thats gunna be the most expensive omelette in the country. Just do what edible acres does with his chickens. Mixing a custom feed like that just for eggs is gunna put you in the poor house and is not sustainable or local.

Would you mind sharing what Edible Acres is doing, or where I can find more information about him?

AU9913 4mo ago

Check him out on youtube. Its mostly food scraps he gets from locsl restaurants

Love the idea of saving food scraps for the chickens.

There are five percent or less restaurants that dont use seed oils in their kitchen. I suppose I could ask those restaurants that dont use seed oils.

Unneccessary extra limiting factor. Just get the system roling and their diet will mostly be made up of worms from the composting waste once you get it rolling.

Exploring coop designs and builds. Going to build a coop this fall

As someone who has failed hard at birds, i have a lot of opinions on this. I am good at pigs and ruminates but chickens seem to be incredibly difficult where we live. All that to say, if you want to chat about it, let me know. My latest design is based off of 4 prior each with failures in their own way.
