Feeding caught fish to chickens
Sometimes I catch fish that is too cumbersome to cook. And yet it is
damaged enough by the fishing hook to release it back to the lake. So, I would like to simply feed it to the chickens. Is that a good idea? Can chickens pick at a un-filleted whole fish? i |

They should love it, but don't let a half-eaten fish carcass lay around for days. Not only will it breed disease, it will stink! -- http://home.teleport.com/~larryc |

I think that I will grind that fish in the grinder along with other kitchen scraps, which I grind anyway. i |

Chicken then tastes like fish! It's true! In Peru they use fish meal for
chicken feed - and it tastes like fish! -- gloria - only the iguanas know for sure |

There is a mercury advisory on some fish in the COE lake near me ... only one fish meal per month for children and pregnant wormen. |

Well, I figure that since I do not eat my chickens (I keep them for eggs), there is no danger here, since eggs do not accumulate mercury. i |

Who cares?
Are you trying to create your own chicken of the sea? This is a gardening newsgroup not poultry pointers. Which stinks worse chicken shit or dead fish? "Ignoramus14990" wrote in message ...

Are you hoping the chicken eggs will taste like caviar?

This is a gardening newsgroup not poultry pointers. Which stinks worse chicken shit or dead fish? Well to carry the thread to a logical end, the OP might have thought EITHER group might have some good insights to his question. I.E. garden = fertilizer = chicken shit or fish or fish in chicken shit = can a chicken eat fish. As for which stinks worse, I'd say neither. Your unkind and uncalled for reply stinks worse than both choices. Sue Northern Wisconsin Invision Whirled Peas |

The eggs can readily have a fishy taste but only if fish accounts for too high a percentage of their diet. Take into account that there is already some fish meal in most prop. chicken feeds. Brian |

Why don't you kiss my giblets, Octohank?
Just stick to something you are good at like flinging cow pies at cars on the interstate or farting the national anthem? "'enry VIII" wrote in message news:dsNtc.9922$eY2.1048@attbi_s02...

Well, I figure that since I do not eat my chickens (I keep them for eggs), there is no danger here, since eggs do not accumulate mercury. i No offense meant, but I was thinking of the health of the chickens. The thought of a flock of mercury-demented chickens is not a pretty picture. g (However, mercury is found in the eggs of fish-eating birds.) |
