Seedyeggs: What are "Seedy Eggs"

Seeds and Eggs are much the same, in that they are both fantastic sources of concentrated nutrition.
Seeds are formed by a plant which throughout it's growth period extracts various minerals from the soil in which it grows. Every plant stores a different composition of minerals in it's seed, but the goal is always the same, the plant stores it's best stuff in the seed as the potential to start a new plant.
Eggs are basically a chicken's seed. The chicken spends it's day scratching and hunting and pecking at the ground. They eat all day enough to sustain themselves, and enough to produce one egg. The egg contains all the protein, calcium, and other nutrients necessary to form a chick.
So if the seed is the best the plant has to offer, and the egg is the best thing that the chicken can deliver, then, we thought why not give the seeds to the chickens and get the best of the best into the eggs.

We went to the feed store and up above and behind the counter there are menu boards, like in a fast food joint, listing all the feeds they have to offer for poultry and and livestock, We ordered: millet, flax seed, sunflower seeds, ground corn and soy bean meal and oyster shell from the poultry side of the menu. But we didn't stop there over on the other side there was whole barley and rolled oats so we got those too! That is an eight grain mix.

We fed the mixed grains to our flock, and they love it. The first thing that we noticed was that after they ate it they all started going for the oyster shell like they never had when we fed them the layer pellets. They seem a lot more alert yet calm and contented after they eat the seed mix. The egg shells are getting firmer as well.

Here is the Recipe:

Into a large bowl put roughly equal parts, whole millet, flax seed, sunflower seeds, ground corn and soy bean meal (about double on the soy, because the chickens need the extra protein for making eggs), whole barley, rolled oats and oyster shell (provides grit and calcium).

Go to the Garden and collect some greens, there are: Mustard greens, Swiss Chard, Collard greens, assorted lettuce, Cabbage, assorted chinese greens, thistles and other weeds that the chickens like to eat.

Chop up the garden greens, apple, and orange peels (vitamin C is important for making calcium into Egg Shell), in the food processor and add them to the bowl and stir.

Salmon heads marinated with salt, plenty of pepper and honey, overnight and then baked in a smokey oven at around 330°F until done.

Salmon Broth

When we cook up the salmon head bones it makes a nice fish broth that we feed the chickens, salmon is an excellent source of Omega 3.
We now use a pressure cooker which makes the bones much softer so the chickens can eat everything.
