Questions about Poultry & Omega 3 & 6 Ratios

[Guest guest]

I've been currently looking around for high-quality organic, grass

fed only poultry and eggs. I'm curious as to what the majority of

organic poultry places feed their chickens in the cold winter months??

(I'm from the PA area, and was also curious about Canadian winter

practices)I'd imagine most chickens are kept in pens during the

winter, and fed small to moderate amounts of organic grains??

The farm's website in which I buy eggs from says this: " We also

produce Certified Organic eggs from our flocks of Pastured hens. The

term " Pastured " means that our chickens are housed in roomy pens

(never caged), and have access to several acres of land every day

(weather permitting). Our cage free chickens produce some of the

finest eggs available on the market today. "

I recently emailed them to find out if they only feed the chickens

their natural diet of grass, plants, worms, etc. or if they're also

grain fed. I did not hear anything back yet though.

My other question is how much do you think the Omega-6 to Omega-3

ratio balance is with chickens that are fed organically grown grains?

The reason I ask this is because another local farm from my area says

this about their chickens & gamebirds:

" A true free-range environment, where they get plenty of sunshine,

fresh air, and room to exercise. Studies show that foraging; free-

range poultry produces healthier, meatier birds with more muscle and

less fat.

Improved organically grown grains that are naturally high in protein

and nutrients. Our feed grains are resistant to disease and grown

with organic farming methods, like crop rotation, that prevent

disease. Since we are organic, we use modified grain in our feed. The

soils are enriched only with organic fertilizers and humus.

Pure, mineral-rich water clean enough for our farm families to drink

themselves "

Just wanted some feedback on this.

Thanks, .
