Yesterday I fed my Oscar some raw chicken liver cut into small pieces. WOW!! did he go crazy on them. Thinking next time I buy a raw chicken for dinner I will give him the liver again. He sure liked them.
Chicken liver fed to my Oscar

I suggested that one time b/c the feed fed to commercial chickens is 100% protein. Several people went nut saying never feed a fish chicken. I believe that was on MFK. So what is right? Ok to feed chicken livers or no?
Feed that is fed to chickens is no where near 100% protein. I live in a community where chicken farming is the number source of income, my father has owned chicken houses my entire life. The feed that is fed to chickens has so many additives not limited to but definitely including growth hormones and steroids as well as many times farmers mix the feed with hog manure. My father gets his peeps when they are several hours old and in six weeks they are full grown chickens. Now we all know NOTHING grows that fast naturally, this is attributed to so many steroids and hormones that are added to the feed. I won't feed myself chicken much less my animals.
well whatever it was just a few pieces of chicken liver . he didn't get huge overnight so i think he was fine. if chicken made everything super huge then what the hell happened to me? I grew up eating chicken and I'm barely 5 ft 1 and dont weight 100 lbs soaking wet.
The Oscar loved his treat and he lived through it LOL.

Commercial feed is 100% protein. I live near the chicken capital of the world and in the chicken state. Chicken is a major source of income for this region. I worked in chicken houses as a teen and sadly have been subjected to the industry most of my life in one way or another.
That's how they raise day old chickens to slaughter size in only 6 weeks. They are called broiler chickens. Pullet, layers and others are not fed the same feed.
Excuse me. Let me be more clear. i don't want to cause confusion. Commercial Broiler feed is 100% protein.
