    I wanted to get corn and soy free eggs but there are none anywhere near me. I emailed some brand i found at some small market and this is the email they sent back. It seemed very vague and they didn’t specify whether or not they actually feed them corn and soy, just that it’s available to them. The only option i could buy from their brand is their pasture raised eggs, not their flax and soy free eggs. Is it worth buying from this brand?

    @vxfx Yh I’d try find a farm and ask them, basically all Supermarket brands will supplement with soy as they need to be mass produced

      Try to source eggs from where they eat only worms, like in forest or something.

        @veloman It’s over. I live in Illinois, it’s the number one producer of soybeans. Even the farms I’ve asked use soybeans.

            @vxfx look into buying quails, they can produce a shit ton of eggs +
            You can drink there blood and eat them. They are low maintanence and don’t require much land at all

              @veloman how would you raise quails naturally without cutting wings and make sure they dont run away?

                @liverman12 cage, you can buy quail coops that are fairly sized, my auntie had one and they don’t need a lot of space because of how small they ate

                        @liverman12 Just Don't get some extra small cage,the quality you get is mostly affected by the diet of the quails.

                              @liverman12 they will find there own insects, but it’s likely they won’t find enough, you get get dried mealworm from pet shops and that would do. Any insects really
