Chicken has been my starter diet staple recommend for protein in the past. I know that is a bit traditional but it is what it is. I raise them, with little Nutritional Diversity diets of their own. Chickens are loyal, if I let them out they follow me around everywhere, like as if on watch. I like that quality of meat.

They will get it on too. As much as I don’t agree with it, or abusive, tragic chain gang chicken farming; they fight chickens here. They scrap. Here on my farm, they have several big areas, I move them from one to another every fifteen days. No animal should be on its own feces any more than that. If someone forgets to give them their special feed, they will fight out of the pen no doubt about it. I like this fight, and this escape quality in my meat too. You are what you eat.

Chicken to me is a ‘food of the Gods,’ and I know we have been talking a bit about foods of the Gods this year on NutritionalDiversity.com. Producing chickens is fast and easy, when it comes to livestock, they are the fastest and most productive value on my farm. Chickens come from fearsome ancestry and they are energetic, willing to fight animals – fighting food. Producing chickens like anything else can be highly optimized, and you can give chickens the best life a chicken ever had on this earth!

The Food of the Gods starred Marjoe Gortner, Pamela Franklin, Ralph Meeker, Jon Cypher, John McLiam, and Ida Lupino. This film was loosely based on a portion of the H. G. Wells novel The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth. A 1976 science fiction thriller film released by American International Pictures and was written, produced, and directed by Bert I. Gordon. The tale of ‘Ecology Strikes Back,’ with the idea of a blood based way to create giant organisms featured a giant chicken attacking a man. The Food of the Gods was first adapted for the comics in January 1961, for Classics Illustrated No. 160, with a painted cover by Gerald McCann, script by Alfred Sundel, and interior artwork by Tony Tallarico.

Funny thing is long ago, the chicken may have been this size, or at least it’s gene-related ancestor was.

“Paleontologists have long accepted that birds are a form of dinosaur. Now the theory that the most feared dinosaur of all, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, has evolved into the modern-day chicken has been given scientific backing with the April, 2007  discovery of some per-historic collagen,” according to Dr Mary Schweitzer, of North Carolina State University. Thanks to the natural preservation of the particular fossil discovered, we can confirm the relation.

Around the world chicken’s have become a standard option meat variety, that makes up a very large portion of overall global protein-focused consumption. This is because (1) chickens are fun and easy to raise. Chickens produce super-food eggs also (2). Cooked chicken meat is a super-food (3). Between chickens and their eggs, a human can build muscle and strength, in ways that are very hard to do without a meat source like it.

History & Modern Use of Chickens

Chicken is the most popular poultry in the world. It has been domesticated and consumed as food for thousands of years. It is believed that chickens were first domesticated in India thousands of years ago, for cockfighting and later for food farming. Slowly, chickens spread to other parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe and eventually to the Americas. Some claim chickens were brought to the Americas from Europe by the early colonists.

A lot of people believe that animal proteins are hurting humans.  This is true with several animal meat products. This is not true with all meat products. For example, if the chickens are raised with love and care and good Nutritionally Diverse foods they and their eggs are excellent sources of nutrition. Wild animals and insects are also great nutritional elements.

Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.

ND-diet Use of Chicken

Protein, Dynamics

Athlete’s using the Nutritional Diversity program and concept, need good, affordable, available high protein sources, and like with everything the more organic sources of protein the better.

Chickens have many different races and varieties and, a diversity of these is good. Whereas a diversity of homegrown organic chickens that were loved and given appropriate area to run around, maybe a nice view and lots of friends during their life –  is best.

Chicken is the first meat I wrote about, and I still recommend it as a starting staple protein for Nutritional Diversifists, being it’s purchased from a loving small farmer. Chicken great to grow yourself, on land or a fun place you make for them, anywhere in the world! Chickens do just fine in residential areas, I am a big fan of raised, moveable chicken houses, and the easily transportable, solar electric powered livestock fence featured in this video. Chickens with adequate installations are fine for an urban green roof, production systems.

The chicken will work for a primary protein source, in an athletes’ Nutritional Diversity plan.

Dynamic Food Cultivation, Creating Ultimate Proteins for Ultimate Athletes

I can’t encourage my readers enough to raise their own food, and chickens are perfect for home gardens even in residential neighborhoods and building rooftops.

Raising these proteins yourself not only ensure’s healthy chickens and a great protein source but, actually does lay a functional relationship, between self and food to the degree that body appreciation and nutrient uptake is increased, because of the love that the consumer had for the particular food. This same principle works with plants also, and it is even believed that through knowing their future consumer, plants, and animals have the ability to create and form nutritional answers to the possible medical needs or helpful aids to the athletic goals of their human parent, and future consumer. Time, care and love of food, is lost but very important part of the human experience.

Going to a small farmer who raises a great rotation of chickens, is the best idea for those who are unable to tend to their own.

There is one benefit also of this ‘lost ‘dynamic, and that is that the practice of food love is very rare, but the intelligence in plants and animals has not gone away. This means that the rare human practitioner of food love, can get themselves yet another leg up in nutritional and athletic advantage-ship, and trigger nutrient production. Most chickens today are raised in a horrible, abusive situation, force-fed by injection hormones to grow and produce eggs, while in suffering. `Raising chickens I noticed quickly that if they don’t have enough Nutritional Diversity in their diet or they don’t get let out of the house for a bit each day, they become upset and don’t lay as many eggs. It is very easy, through neglect to upset them enough not to lay eggs at all. On the flipside treating them excellently can double egg production, and certainly, the happiness and healthiness of the chicken come through to the lucky and blessed individual(s) who get to consume the free of chemical or hormone, stronger tougher meat. |I can tell right away our range chickens are ten times the nutritional of store-bought chickens. Chickens like humans, they follow us around the farm all day. They like friends, friendly or trained dogs, and cats, co-exist well with chickens, and here the monkeys pass by often in the trees to say hello somehow.

Chicken Nutrition

Muscle, Bone, and Brainfood.

Chickens are one of the most popular sources of protein across most diet’s in the world currently.

They are a good source of vitamins and minerals and cholesterol. Not all cholesterol is bad, in fact, much of it is good – it all works very well within the balance of Nutritional Diversity. The balance of the chicken is perfect in helping to quickly process and uptake proteins, and deliver minerals to the blood.

Minerals

It’s not just muscle food but brain and hormone food also. Chicken is rich in several minerals like phosphorus and calcium, which helps keeps bones remain in mint condition.

Protein

The recommended amount of daily protein requirements for an office worker, is 1 gram per 1 kg of body weight, or 0.4 g of protein per pound of body weight. Remember these numbers are for normal people. For athletes, the daily requirement of protein is about 0.6 g to 2.0 g per pound, depending on goals and daily output.

Vitamins

Chicken is not only a very good source of protein, but it is a very good source of vitamins and minerals. The vitamins and minerals found in it are very useful in numerous activities in our body. Vitamin B 12’s and B 6’s are very important to brain function and hormone production.

Vitamin D supports calcium absorption and bone strength. Vitamin A helps in building up eyesight and minerals such as iron are helpful in hemoglobin formation, muscle activity, also eliminating anemia. Potassium and sodium are important electrolytes (organic), and phosphorous plays another important role in tackling weakness, bone health, brain function, dental care, and metabolic issues.

Chicken Medicine

Medicinal levels from chickens’ vitamin banks in B vitamins are useful in preventing cataracts and skin disorders, boosting immunity, eliminating weakness, regulating digestion, and improving the nervous system, as well as preventing migraine, heart disorders, grey hair, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Stress Medication

Chicken has two nutrients that are great for reducing stress, tryptophan and Vitamin B5. These guys have a calming effect on your body and this makes chicken an excellent option after a stressful day, or a heavy workout. Chicken is high in magnesium making it supportive of testosterone production (chicken is also high in zinc) but also means it can work towards regulating intolerable PMS symptoms. In today’s age, I always recommend stacking up stress-reducing foods.

Chicken Eggs

Eggs, cheap, daily if your raising chickens, high protein super food that the low-budget Nutritional Diversifist cannot afford to pass up. I write chicken and their eggs into my starting plans for newbies to Nutritional Diversity and eat them both every day myself.

Eggs, contain the zygote that hatches into a baby chicken – the eggs contain everything needed for the chicken to become live.

FUN FACT: The largest egg recorded so far was from a whale shark, and was 30 cm × 14 cm × 9 cm (11.8 in × 5.5 in × 3.5 in) in size. I wonder what kind of workout you could get after consuming that?

Looking at this chart you will see great vital nutrition, lots of helpful stuff, and that we have been right about eggs as a great morning food. Eat them with papaya, or avocado, to get the most out of this great spectrum of nutrients.

Eggs, especially the hard-boiled form, is great to pack in the Nutritional Diversity organizer, stick in the gym bag, backpack or briefcase, and eat correctly with your other nutritional plan ingredients (like a kick-butt hot sauce) throughout the day.

Also, notice the difference between the egg and the whole chicken breast nutritional facts charts in fat and cholesterol. While tons of chicken can be eaten in a day with no problem, egg consumption should be in the 3 to 6 a day range. Exceeding ten eggs could be asking for some acid related, and possibly other problems. Eat a few raw for sure to make sure there is good material balance in the system at the end, I myself eat some shell even – toss a few whole raw eggs into a smoothie.

Quickly glancing at the chart on our left, it is easy to see why to stick a few hard-boiled guys in the day kit.

Chicken Permaculture

Chicken’s are great for permacultures, I totally recommend them. The males get the farm started in the morning, here around 4:30 am, Mr. Rooster and his cousins in arms start going off. With three

They deserve a view, friends, love and I use moveable stilted standing chicken huts, with kick-butt staircases to them, egg carton insulated roofs to cut down on rain noise for them, inside of moveable solar-powered electric fencing.  I do a figure 8 layout with one fence and keep our current two genetic variations separate so the male cocks don’t fight and have solid, comfortable claims to their harems. I can’t stand jealousy, and I definitely don’t want that emotion high in the lives of my food.

I have a few more steps to complete in these chicken farming goals, there is always more that can be done, although look at how valuable this particular chicken meat is!

Moving them around is key for me so that I don’t damage land but instead smartly convert it, keep the chickens happy, and I move my pure bread pit bulldogs after them in a rotation, so there is multiple poops down. Section by section (Panama farm) I clear with the machete (leaving several of the adult plants and trees there), pile up some stuff, burn on a sunny day to make a very clear little patch, and give a great carbon shot to the soil. Then I put the chickens in for a couple of months, then the dogs just after for a couple of months, and I hope to start this plant crop lot conversion process with goats or horses soon. Then I move the fence back and start converting the plot.

Chickens and dogs dig, scratch up and turn around the topsoil perfect for planting. The acidic chicken poop kills out most of the grasses and the chickens clear the rest looking for worms and scratching around. As this process expands my planting plots, out,

We are into finding new strains of chickens, I want to have several different genetic types, and maybe cross em up a bit. There is a GMO chicken here, that produces eggs only when fed the store-bought GMO chicken feed.  I don’t want these chicken’s nor do I want the strain, that they grow in small cages, hoked up to automatic feeding, suffer their entire life and the generations before them, until conveyor belted to a truck to KFC and the supermarkets.

Do one quick search and find out about ‘battery caged’ chickens and worse, and you will se why any chicken raised on a small farm today is a lucky chicken. Do yourself and the world a favor and raise your own chickens and love em and they will give you everyday their golden value nutrition -eggs.

Farmers Notes:

We do some serious chicken stuff here at the farm, and I have some experience, observations, and creative practices that we have created and developed here that I feel I should pass on. This article like all on here is growing and updated regularly.

Chicken Housing

I had thought that my chickens would eat their eggs if I didn’t bring enough food out to them because there were broken shells in the cage where the material inside the shell had obviously been consumed. I thought for days, “ the T-Rex relative eats its own young, if hungry.” My neighbor is a lifelong Chicken farming expert and from him, I learned that chickens only eat their own eggs when they break accidentally. What will happen is the chicken will at times stand up when having an egg, and if the floor is hard the egg will break, and only if this happens will they eat it. I like the cleanliness of cement floor pens, and some neighboring to the cement house bananas, an original or close to it banana, eats up the acidic sprayed out chicken waist very well.

So now we build some houses that use what is being called on YouTube, the “deep bedding system,” where I do not use cement flooring, and instead use earth, grass trimmings, and leaves as all my flooring. The idea with this system is that the chickens will eventually scratch together nice fast turning, compost – like material. It will be heavily acidic, so I use it, where I have adolescent plants that I wish to grow peanut grass ground-cover around. The peanut grass nitrogen-fixer will work to balance out the PH of the chicken pen compost laid under it.

Chicken Food

The other easy-to-do power move with chickens that we do here is lay out some chicken food in a pan or even just a cup, so that flies and ‘moskas’ will lay their larva in it, and then the grubs will start. The grubs will too feed off the same “laying mesh” that is fed to your chickens and before you know it the entire medium will be moving around with large worms.. The grubs can actually work to convert GMO corn or other unneeded elements of certain laying meshes. I think we are okay here in Panama on contaminants in chicken food but a certain level most definitely does exist in the store-bought mesh. Many States-side located products are largely tampered with., to extreme degrees, and should not be used at all. But even this food is not useless, and available to us is the grub method, which should be employed certainly.

Ideally, you want to give your chickens a Nutritional Diversity of stuff, and the more organic methods the better. In time I hope to have several different worm farms, collecting ‘worm castings (excellent fertilizer component),’ and feeding our chickens several different worms regularly. I do feed them the store-bought meshes still, I try and mix it in with as nice a mix as the farm can procure from its work to give them.

Fish farming is not only a stellar aquaponics component to operations at a farm, is also a stellar chicken farming component. Chickens love to fish! Ours do anyway here you can meet them :
