Yes I am in Surrey in the UK and find a lot of the US stuff doesn't apply to me - though it is still interesting to read. For instance we are advised in Britain that we should not feed kitchen scraps to chickens.
Oh wow... we don't have those restrictions in GErmany. I read that vegans are allowed to feed their chickens scraps... that kinda made me realize why they are doing that. They are probably afraid of another mad cow disease kinda situation.
I know thatchickens are not cows. cows are herbivores and chickens are omnivores.
Not sure if I'm allowed on this thread,I know thatI was just saying that this might be the reason why there is such a rule. I don't know for sure but it sure sounds like it. Why else would vegans be allowed to feed their animals scraps but meat eating households are forbidden?
even mealworms??!! wow!!!Not sure if I'm allowed on this thread,
but I read up on this topic and it is because of the mad cow disease.
They don't want you to feed your chickens any kind of animal by products. Even things like meal worms (because they are almost always raised on animal waste).
Yeah, I follow a breeder from the UK and she was saying most people don't even know the rule.even mealworms??!! wow!!!
That sure is very strict!! Who would assume you can't feed mealworms?Yeah, I follow a breeder from the UK and she was saying most people don't even know the rule.
Yeah, I was shocked when she was talking about it.That sure is very strict!! Who would assume you can't feed mealworms?
