poultry

Question
the organic / natural / etc. poultry (diestel, rocky) all feed their birds
a vegetarian diet. diestel feeds theirs corn and soybeans. i want to
eat various animals other than grass fed beef all the time, but that
diet does not sound right. these birds are not vegetarians. the eggs
here are also 'vege raised'. your advise please about these products.

Answer
Try for raw wild game. I can get hold of raw wild mallard duck at dirt-cheap prices, for example, at farmers' markets. If you want raw eggs, get them from "pastured" fowl. The trouble is that I've been told that, in order for them to lay eggs throughout the year, they need to be fed on some grains. But if those "pastured" fowl are also allowed to feed on lots of worms, insects and the like, then they will be fine for eating(unless you are one of the few who react violently to to very tiny traces of grains-substances in meats/eggs).
