Some of you with chickens may know this, but it was news to me...I was sleeping through a meeting and the talk was about healthy eating and they were going on about omega 3...it seems if you feed your chickens flax seeds you will have omega 3 eggs, didnt say what percentage the feed needs to be that could be investigated further.....I wonder? could I raise omega 3 steak 😀

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!
Hmmm...flax seed you say.
Well, I'm always looking for scratch and treat ideas, so maybe I'll try that.
Omega3 steak? I'm not sure it works that way...maybe Omega3 milk though.

Now that needs to be confirmed ofcourse. she could tell me the amount of omega 3 in the eggs but when I tried to get a idea of the feed ratio with flax in it to hit the target consentration in the eggs she did not know that, could be 10%, might be 50% someone must know.
I also learned that what she thought was a full serving of steak at a meal was really the size of a piece of meat that could fall of my fork and i might not even notice it gone, and what she thinks is a alcohol serving size is the amount I might spill mixing a drink, so clearly she has somethings wrong
