r/Chicken

Hey! A Dr here...recently came across a lot of posts about hormone usage in broiler chicken its just an age old myth that has been busted long back. 1, no way the business will ever be profitable for poultry farmers if they start to roid up their chickens that are sold for market price ..and no diluting it into drinking water isnt how hormones are absorbed or work in the body 😂2, No "hormone" survives the heat of cooking, they degrade and lose all their potency. The only thing to be actually worried about is the usage of antibiotics, its a real proven issue in most mass produced livestock and it could lead to antibiotic resistance developing in humans gradually! So I would recommend you go for "antibiotic-free" certified produce always! Dont let people fear-monger you into spending twice or thrice of what you could be paying just for a worthless Organic label or if you actually can afford country grown chicken that might have a slightly improved nutrition profile due to the variety in feed but its obviously not a realistic choice all the time . Organic labelled overpriced broiler chicken is an actual scam currently running in the country

Why is there a puddle of water + some oil/fat at the bottom of the tray when I cook chicken in an oven 😭

It's only my 2nd time using an oven to cook chicken and I've faced this both the times

Personally, not a fan

Is it normal?

Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions welcome

TIA

so i have a 3 week old bantam chick that decided she wanted to run into my neighbors yard (they got through a fence hole that is now covered with chicken wire) this happened about an hour ago i found them hunting under a bush and they ran into the trees i couldn’t get her from there so i tried to shake around the branches and she ran under there porch deck i have no idea if the chick is still out there or not but i put all her other flock mates out to range in hopes it’ll bring her back but no luck yet any ideas on how to find her she’s a tiny bantam and im getting struck with the favorite chick curse already lol

UPDATE nugs has been found she was still binding under the deck apparently i stomped on it to scare her out and played a real fun game of tag and eventually got her shes safe and warm now 😁

Tourists in Thailand are impressed with cheap chicken food as street food, but have you thought about what kind of chickens this meat is? What are these chickens fed and what does the breeding look like if the price is very low?
