My husband thinks that we should only feed our chickens food that has Omega 3 in it. I recently read an article that said: “When feeding the hens heart-healthy omega-3s to enrich their eggs, if the level of supplementation is too high, the birds’ egg production will be severely curtailed and some will stop laying eggs,” (from an article from Penn State).
Since he wants our chickens to have the added Omega 3, should I - 1)Mix it with feed that doesn't have the added Omega 3 or 2)Give our chickens the feed with Omega 3 just not every day?
I know Omega 3 is good for various reasons, however, I don't want to give the chickens too much and inadvertently cause them to stop producing eggs. Any and all comments and advice are welcome.
