Always consider your travel companions as a potential source of proteins if things turn to shit!
- x______________ 1y ago'if things turn to shit' A chicken already lays eggs daily, what more protein do you need? Also /s aside(from me or op), this comment feels like it's from someone who never had a buddy or travel companion. Either both make it or you don't, otherwise you're not travel companions.
- bravesoul2 1y agoWhat do you feed the chicken? Fish maybe.
- OJFord 1y agoDefinitely not its own eggs
- yurishimo 1y agoReal question: is this a problem? I assume a chicken would eat eggs if you cooked it. Seems like it would eventually stop working because of physics, but is there another reason why a chicken couldn't eat eggs and keep producing more eggs?
- arkey 1y agoChickens definitely can and do eat eggs. Ideally cooked, good protein source for them. However, you have a big problem if they discover they can crack eggs and eat the contents. They go crazy on them and it's difficult to get them to stop.
- jessekv 1y agoIf you have this problem, leave one of those stone eggs in the nesting box to help them break the habit.
- eth0up 1y agoI have always thought the only reasonable way when capable is as a vegetarian. But I feel less well, unambiguously so as one, which is part of why I'm not one. When I was one, I'd make a few exceptions each year. At the time, I was a serious competitive chess player with a well obscured tendency for occasional brilliance. But mediocrity was my primary trait. On every occasion, without failure, these carnivorous exceptions would lift my mediocrity into formidable respectability. Every time. Killing and salivating on animals for the sake of a board game is macabre. Though it was not only chess. For me, much else is affected by the absence or presence of this mysterious substance. I wish we had figured out the true reasons for this by now, because protein supplements never quite matched or equalled the results of a properly ingurgitated beast chunk. I still wonder. I certainly want to change it. This is a good opportunity for prayer, to ask or beckon the seemingly aloof mind of the aether for wisdom and express a will for something better. To ponder. Crickets. Existentially, I oppose this universe. It's magnificence aside, there's something shameful about its role as a giant digestive system where its every component is eating itself, fastidiously vying for energy exchange ever malcontent. Stars eating stars, beast eating beast, particles eating waves.... An insatiable auto cannibal, a meandering mongoloid ouroboros, a mockery of the inevitable perpetual motion device that birthed it billions of years ago. I protest this frothing stolid bang of intractable drooling entropy. I wish it would leave the chickens and everyone else alone.

For me, much else is affected by the absence or presence of this mysterious substance. I wish i could find the Huberman podcast episode again where he was interviewing some researcher or so who went over a wide host of less known compounds beneficial for the brain in some minor ways. Far too often he opened with having to disappoint the vegans or vegetarians because these were only found in (red) meat and/or fish or so. It's been a long time since but i remember coming to the conclusion from that and some research that whilst you didn't need to eat a lot of those for it (I'd assume less than the average western diet except maybe of fatty fish) there was no way to supplement all of them and live "optimally" without em.
- oreally 1y agoBest not to tell that story. There was that story of an explorer lost in the jungle who had to kill and eat his loyal dog for the sake of survival. People on the internets did not like it.
