Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 Does anybody know where I might be able to get eggs from these pastured/free-ranging " partly-predator " chickens (in the San Francisco/Mountain View area)? All the eggs at Whole Foods/MV farmer's market appear to be from vegetarian chickens. eatwild.com only lists pastured cows and sheep in California. :-( Thx, Qiana >From: Aubin Parrish <aubinparrish@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: SC eggs $2 a dozen >Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 13:45:53 -0800 (PST) > >--- Roman <r_rom@...> wrote: > > He confirmed that chickens > > are > > partly predators, in a sense that they eat even > > mammals. > >They'll also eat each other.
