Hi, I want to have amy chickens on a soy free feed. Does anybody have a recipe for one? I will replace the soy protein with worm protein once the weather warms up but util then any suggestions would be appreciated. THanks

Here's a website that might help:

Thank you for the link. I have been there, thats where I got the worm idea.

Gail Damerow has a whole chapter on feed and making your own. The book is called 'Raising Chickens'. I love the book.

Why soya free, Rasilon?

I must say I am all behind you on this one. I am allergic to beans and peas and sure have a reaction to feed containing either, but I am willing to bet that is not your rationale...

Well I did some research after overhearing a conversation by a cancer survivor. Most soy is processed using a solvent called Hexane. Soy can be responible for learning problems and is linked to different kinds of health problems so I want my eggs and birds soy free. It wouldn't be so bad but soy is in everything. Pudding mix, soup.. it is in animal feed, chicken feed, even rabbit pellets. It just one thing I am trying not to eat.. I am not allowed to post links but if you are interested email me rasilon @ mts .net I can send you what I have found.
I do not know how to quote you Sue

There is a little quote button on the lower right of my post if you want to quote me. Go ahead, I love to be quoted. Maes me feel important.

I know what you mean. Soya IS in everything. I have a devil of a time reading ingredient lists. And you know what is worse...I am also allergic to MSG!

I am not allergic to anything I just don't want to be eating soy. I think there is a market for soy free eggs too.

Not sure why you cannot post links? Maybe a new member thing, feel free to email me the links and I will post them for you until I can figure out why you cannot.

When I tried to put a link to my website in my signature this came up ....

Yes that is spam prevention, they are added for you now.

Rasilon here is a producer that sells Soy free chickens, maybe you could contact them about their feed to see what they use?
Then let us all know here.

Is there a link, Hidden?

Sue

Haha yes here it is.

Nice! But- $6 a lb! Whoa! That must be the organic component, not the lack of Soya.

By the time I went to the link it was not active I was told.
I did buy the latest issue of Chickens Magazine and saw an ad for soy free feed, I will check out their website and see if they list ingredience. I just need another source of protein tomake my own.
