How unique are chickens? Some facts:
1. In studies chickens survived more radiation than
any other animal tested.
2. Chickens are the most efficient farm animal. They
convert food into body weight with minimal loss.
They also are very aggressive at supplementing their
diet if given free range conditions.
3. Chickens are the easiest farm animal to hypnotize.
They can be arranged in various patterns and make
interesting yard decorations (until they wake up).
Are chicken eggs healthy? I don't know, but the latest
Berkeley letter claimed they are like other foods and
suggested something like this:
- moderation
- active lifestyles can utilize more eggs
- avoid eggs if cholesterol is high.
This seems to be true of all foods. Some diversity is good
and too much of one food is unbalanced. Highly concentrated
calorie foods work better for active lifestyles such as
children and those involved in physical labor.
