corn types, organic paprika

Recommended Posts

That might have been me. I just used that as it was the one in my cupboard at the time that I'd bought from Waitrose. There are a certain amount of spices in the appropriately named 'Poultry Spice' too - don't know whether or not they are organic; I wouldn't have thought so. I think they need a Soil Association stamp if they are. :)

I don't think the chooks would appreciate paprika - it's quite a 'fiery' spice - probably blow their heads off :lol:

 

Poultry 'Spice' doesn't mean the same thing - it's a mineral feed supplement.

 

Am glad you posted this Fee....I was very confused until a moment ago. :lol:

I've been using paprika in tiny quantities in their feed, not as a supplement like poultry spice - but to add orangey tones to the yolk. It works, and they like it :D

 

Out of interest, does it leave any taste in the eggs or is the tiny amount not enough to do this? I think I may try this :D

im interested in this to wonder if my chooks will eat it :roll:

You might be interested in the Omlet guide to egg yolk colour.

See link below. They say:

Green tinge yolks = acorns

Redder yolks = Paprika

Deep yellow yolks = Green stuff (brocolli, spinach, grass, brussel sprouts...)

 

My girls eggs are quite orange and they munch their way through most of my lawn and garden....

Also, just in case anyone was confused, Poultry Spice suppliment contains protein, oil, fibre, ash, calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium. For all round good condition for the chooks.
