Anyone know how this chicken was farmed/ raised? I'm concerned this product is factory farmed...

We're going through a pretty cold winter here in NC and even thought I've been worried about them they seem to be holding up well. Now since we're much farther south than you, I'd recommend an insulated coop. Check with other chicken owners in your area to see how they keep their chickens warm through the harsh winters.

From what I know, they eat emu's like chicken in Australia. They raise them for meat. After an emu has already been killed and sent off to be turned into food, the fatty parts that would be otherwise thrown away is what is used to make the oil. Basically, you can't get emu oil from a living emu, but I doubt they grow them for the oil alone. That's highly inefficient. So to answer your question, no, they are not harmed in the process of making the oil because they're already dead and the excess fatty parts are sent to the factories to make the oil and other stuff. Mind you, I'm no expert. I just bought this and did a little research to find out why it worked so well. Hope that helps!

I was wondering that myself. VERY disappointed. I've been buying this food from Amazon for a long time, but I might go back to the pet store to buy it now. Hope Amazon lowers the price soon.

I got one of those green plastic things too! Couldn't figure it out, looked up the backpack on the HDP website and it said nothing about it. THEN, today I was looking on Amazon for something else and came across what I think is the answer.........its......................an...........................egg poacher....look at thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA1H0OUUHoY----------- have NO clue why it was in this backpack (maybe some one in the warehouse messing around?).... Really strange that I've been obsessed with making the perfect poached egg and happened to see it on Amazon!...LOL

I hope not. Wouldn't that make it not raw or natural?? Sorry that I cannot answer this better. Did you write the seller?

We raise and sell chickens. We've had a few problems with bags coming unsealed but it's usually a pinhole somewhere in the bag and not because of moisture in the bag, or where it was sealed. We do make it a point of wiping the excess moisture from the area that's going to be sealed before we seal it. The chickens that are sealed keep fresh for a very long time. We are very happy with their purchase and do recommend this item.

I haven't actually used it yet. But I'm gonna guess you will really stress your chickens with the sound and egg production will go WAY down. Stressed chickens don't lay lots or good quality eggs. Happy chickens do. the sound would be maddening to them.

I don't know why you had that problem. I had ordered the Chicken Natural and it did not work. I asked for an exchange for the Beef Flavor (which by the way my dog LOVES) and they exchanged it for me with a 50% restocking fee. I am very happy with the product.

i haven't gotten my older birds or any others to catch on yet and i even know a bit about chicken care, Ventucky Chicken on FB -- i keep trying to present it -- nipples on a bucket bottom hasn't worked yet so i'm looking to try this pipe style as another option.

They use chickens without growth hormones or steroids, and it is a grain free product. I'm not sure it is necessarily organic.

No. There should not be any worms in there. Most likely, it's been on the shelf so please report to the vendor. I have purchased other feed in the past (no the chick starter) and there had been tiny worms. The chickens did not seem to mind and seemed to consider it a delicacy but a product that has worms is not fresh or was not stored correctly (in my opinion).

I use it every day and am very pleased with it. I don't eat meat so don't know about chicken. A little butter dripped on one of the heating elements from a piece of toast and made a little black mark on it. most everything falls on the bottom and I just take it out and wipe it off or wash it off and put it back in oven. Still looks new.

I'd say from the far east, most likely farm raised. As I advised others before they are good in soup or a stir fry but do not have the full robust flavor like a forest grown natural Shitake Mushroom.

I cooked a 5 lb hen at 425 for the first hour and finished for the next 45 minutes at 400. Done and tested 180F in the thigh, 'dark meat takes the longest and this is where you test for doneness'. I brined the bird and it was perfectly done and juicy. Don't overcook or your chickens will be dry. Rest it for at least 10 minutes wrapped in foil before slicing to keep the juices from flowing out.Don't pay over the Companies price. Which is just around 200 dollars.Also I have been wanting one of these Cuisinart rotisseries for my daughter.

I have had no problems, I just use the moist setting and it works great. I have done ground meat without any trouble. I have also done chickenafter it has been rinsed and drained.

What is "wheat germ"? What is in it? How is it made. I guess the question is "where does it come from"? It is in quite a few dog recipe in smaller quantities. I wonder if it is bad for them? Do you know?
