Can you feed broilers with broiler meat?
Hi there. I am from Alabama, USA. I have been buying broiler meat from a farmer not too far from where I live for almost 20 years. Recently I have learnt that this farmer feeds his broilers with broiler meat. Is this possible. Now that I have learnt that his chickens are actually cannabals I have decided to stay away from them. Is this allowed. Can you actually feed broilers with broiler meat. Also that probably means that he is feeding his broiler with dead broilers on his farm. I have been told that he actually grinds up the dead broiler meat and feeds this to his broilers. He must be making a good living because he has been driving 4x4's since I have known him and the current one he is driving is almost $120,000.
