Soybeans are commonly used as a [cheap, government subsidized] protein source for chickens. They have to be heated to high temperatures (roasted) for the chickens to be able to digest them. Can chickens cook? I think not, so soy is probably not a natural choice for chickens. Plus, soy contains not only isoflavones, which can mimic estrogen in the body, but also ”anti-nutrients,” which can prevent absorption of nutrients in food. For what it’s worth, I believe soy should only be consumed by humans (or animals, for that matter) if it has been fermented, and even still, it should be eaten in moderation. Think miso, NOT tofu or imitation meat.......whistlepighollow/2013/08/13/homemade-chicken-feed-recipes-soy-free-corn-free-fermented-sprouted
