Re: [CHICKENS-101] Soy hulls

 

Like us, chickens need their vitamins. If ground into the feed with the missing nutrients supplied,  the hulls might, don't know for sure, they might be able to be used as a feed ingredient. Always amazes me that people, not our member who posted-but the woman who told her about them, would feed their chickens hulls and still expect eggs from their chickens. Cathryn


 

The word 'hull' seems like a misnomer to me.  Soy beans come in pods like peas, so there is more to the soy bean covering than what I think of as a 'hull'.  However the pods have VERY heavy outer coatings.  My guinea pigs love them, but I wouldn't go out of my way to obtain pods for the chickens.  I'm also not sure how well a chicken could pick the meaty part of the pod off the out hard coating.
