Exactly! It is poor. No vitamins, no aminos, protein too low. But, heritage breeds can thrieve on this poor feeding and can offer sustainability to the farmer who lives in the acres. Hybrid chickens will show extremely low production in these conditions.
This is the key, this is the point...
IT ONLY MEANS THAT HERITAGE BREEDS ARE ABLE TO CONVERT LOW-DENSITY FARM RATIOS, SCRATCH A PRODUCER CAN PRODUCE BY HIS OWN FIELDS, CAN ADAPT TO SOY-FREE, FISH-FREE, MEAT-FREE FEEDING ETC.
HYBRID CHICKENS NEED HIGH OCTANE FEED AND WHEN GIVEN SCRATCH AND LOW-DENSITY RATIOS IN GENERAL, THEIR...
No, it was very unofficial because the number of the layers and meaties participating was too small.
A researcher will start with the statement - "Traditional heritage chickens need lower feed density to achieve the highest of their total production."
Hybrids like industrial white leghorns and commercial red sex links. From the other side, transylvanians, plymouth rocks, orpingtons, australorps, leghorns, andalusians etc.
Sorry, but I have to prove nothing. For further information ask farmers living in the acres in your country. Hybrid chickens have much smaller needs in feed density.
Make your own study if you are a researcher. But, the number of the birds must be very big. But, I think that there will not be any interest. The results I published are from flock tests taking part in small farms in Greece.
Slaughter them.
Actually, golden comets are hy-line browns.

They are labeled this way for marketing reasons.
They have this bossy temperament because of their RIR-based genes and because of the high stress the high egg production...
Brown eggs? And leghorns? No, they are not leghorns.
The may be columbian plymouth rocks.

Hatch the eggs under broody hens. They will help the baby chick flee.
Farmers living in the acres produce their own corn or/wheat and offer it to their chickens. In these conditions heritage chickens like white rocks overlay a hybrid layer like industrial leghorns and RSL, because they manage to cover a bigger amount of their smaller needs.
My sources are experienced greek farmers testing their stock for many many years.
They key is that heritage breeds thrive on less protein, which means less soy bean.
I understand you. This happens because they are industrialized capitalistic animals, with big needs and high levels of stress. They also suffer from pain because their beaks are usually trimmed. Their only puspose is to convert small amounts of fully formulated layer feed into eggs. Try...
