Raw range fed, fertile eggs, and I'm going, okay, these would be ones to buy.

Mostly they're grown with soy and they'll say organic. Soy cannot be given to chickens raw, so they have to chemically treat it with a kerosene derivative and heat treat it. So, anytime a chicken is fed soy, it has to be processed.
So, all of the organic, now I've gone to, like Rosie says all organic, they feed their 75% - 80% soy. And I called them up and I said, "You can't do that. Soy raw will kill a chicken. So, you've had to have treated it".
"Yeah, but the soy was grown organically".
"I don't care. It's no longer organic when you're feeding it to the chickens".
"Well, the FDA lets us call it that". That was their answer. This is Rosie Organic Chicken, and let me tell you, I've been to about every chicken place around and they all feed them the same garbage feeds. Only place I can find where they don't do that is in Amish and Mennonite Farms and where I get ours now and I've been trying to get James to just get our Amish farmers because they supply everything else. Give us their eggs and chickens too. The chickens are gonna be tougher. You know, they're eating organically wild food.
And what I do is I said, I don't want the chickens to have a lot of grains because chickens in the wild don't eat a lot of grains. They eat a lot of bugs, grass hoppers, they eat a lot of meat. They're scavengers, if they find a dead animal. They'll pick it to pieces and the bugs that are eating them. They love maggots.
So, what I'd like you to do is get a pallet after you butcher, throw all the remains on the pallet and let the chickens have whatever they want. And the chickens just feed on it every day. And these chickens, I don't know how many people have been around chickens. They peck each other, they're very annoyed with each other. They're not happy. Those chickens will walk around like cats and rub you up against the ankles and legs. When they feed them the way I want them to with the raw meats, the meat scraps and the maggots and stuff.
And they also feed them some grains, some peas that are organically grown, that they grow themselves. So, they'll crush those up and then they take some grains that they grow and they'll soak it in whey and the whey germinates it. So, they're sprouted in whey. So, these chickens get these sprouted in whey grains, raw milk, and then all this meat and they are the most beautiful chickens. Lay the best eggs in the world, it's phenomenal.
You just can't get those, your big markets, your big chicken houses, your people who make them and produce them for your big stores, they're all big marketing houses with very poor grade feed. None of its organic.

What about the guys at the farmers market that do have their local little farms?
[Aajonus]
They're feeding them regular feed.
[Attendee]
Maybe they're pastured?
[Aajonus]
They're pastured, but they're still getting regular garbage feed.
[Attendee]
Isn't that better though?
[Aajonus]
It's probably a little better, yeah. But when you're feeding an animal soy that isn't supposed to eat soy that has to be heat treated and chemically treated.
How many of you would eat a peach or even nuts that have been soaked in kerosene for 30 minutes, rinse it off and eat it? That kerosene etches its way deep into the tissue in 30 minutes. It's like gasoline.

So, where are you buying eggs from?
[Aajonus]
Right now, none. I'm making deals with the farmers in the Amish territory right now.
[Attendee]
What area? Texas?
[Aajonus]
No, mainly Ohio area. Ohio, Pennsylvania.
[Attendee]
Amos?
[Aajonus]
Amos and other people. Amos is already full. I've got him stretched.
[Attendee]
Are there any names you can give us that we can order?
[Aajonus]
Well, not right now. I'm still trying to set it up. There's no big chicken farmer in the Amish right now, so I'm trying to establish one.
