How does Organic feed vs non-organic feed for chickens affect the Egg quality?

[U_Stormcrow]

Malathion is still inuse, and sprayed routinely. Just can't buy it at the hardware store for keeping on the shelf at home.

It works, true, but scary stuff! Although it's questionable if any of the newer long lasting products are actually safer. Definitely better than DDT, although that product did save many human lives, over malaria.
Always trade-offs!

The eggs of organic chickens do not contain residues of poison.

Chicks that get organic feed grow more slowly at the start but they grow better after a week than the GMO chicks. After a few week the organic chicks are healthier.
I have posted somewhere else about a research the Louis Bolk institute / Wageningen university conducted (small group).

Organic means to me more than just my own eggs and chickens. I don’t want yo contribute in GMO agriculture where they are poisoning the soil. And I don’t want to contribute in taking down rain-forests.

Hear, hear !

The research should have had a follow up, but it was not possible to get funds for it.

Incidents often caused by greed are incidents. Not common practice because of checks. Organic is a label with standards.

Correct, just like driving. Some obey the speed limit, some get caught speeding because of checks and others don't get caught at all.

Where I live everybody gets caught. Maybe not this month or this year, but one day they certainly will. For speeding. For selling illegal products. For claims that are false. For using too much poison. For whatever is wrong.

Well, you're the exception rather than the rule.
