We Are What We Eat, Eats-Bonus Content

In this personal and down-to-earth episode, Rip Stalvey shares why poultry nutrition isn’t just about feed—it’s about the food we ultimately serve our families. When we raise backyard chickens, their health, egg quality, and meat flavor are a direct reflection of what we put in their feeders. That’s why we say: We are what we eat, eats.

You'll learn how intentional poultry feeding choices—like balanced amino acids, calcium, high-quality fats, and grit—make all the difference. We’ll explore why pasture access isn’t enough without a complete feed, how to improve egg yolk color and shell strength, and how feeding for each bird’s purpose (layers, broilers, or breeders) leads to better outcomes.

Whether you’re feeding laying hens, raising broilers, or managing a dual-purpose flock, this episode provides real-life guidance on how to make smarter, more sustainable feed choices—even on a budget.

This conversation is for anyone who wants healthier birds, better eggs, and more flavorful meat. Because feeding your chickens isn’t just farm work—it’s food work.
