I counted egg noodles as pasta. I just made those yesterday. Made with
yolk only (and a little half&half) instead of whole eggs, they are easier
to roll out, but are better mixed with soup in the bowl, because they're
not very good left over. Very soggy the next day.

I've found that too - but if we have any soggy noodle/pasta leftovers, our
chickens are more than happy to eat them. <g>

So what, I count ramen as pasta.
Most homemade pasta is made with eggs, only factory made dried
contains no egg except for those labeled egg noodles.

Chickens will eat just about anything that is not faster than their
peckers.
I don't remember if it was in this group or some other place where
someone was complaining about chicks having their beaks nipped off
shortly after hatching. The reason is that they will peck and hurt or
kill each other.

It's harder to pick them out of the soup if you've added them to the pot.

Quite so; chickens are omnivores after all. However, our lot draw the line
at carrots....

All our chickens (both past and present) have their beaks intact - and
they seem perfectly content that way.

True. I make my pasta with eggs.

You watched it die? Why didn't you perform the Heimlich Maneuver? And
you're questioning *my* chicken ethics. Hmmmph.

May I add a sub-poll?

Those of you who answered that you make it from scratch often, do you have a pasta machine or it is a hand job?

Did you hatch them yourselves or did you get them from a hatchery? It is
almost standard operating procedure for hatcheries to debeak chicks for
shipping. When you get thousands of little chickens running around they
tend to get aggressive and cannibalistic.

I never said I watched it die. I saw it after it died, the cause of
which was pretty obvious when you could see the carrot in it's throat

This may not sound like a pasta dish to some people but it is what I
whipped up for supper tonight and it was incredible

2 chicken breasts cut into thin slices
1/2 red bell pepper sliced
3 cloves garlic chopped
1/2 lb. asparagus.... chopped
1 cup chicken broth
about 2 tsp. corn starch
1/2 cup sliced onion
grated Parmesan
Sricachi cause
cooked spaghetti

Season the sliced chicken with salt and pepper. Sautee galric in oil.
Add the slice peppers, onion and chicken, stir, then add asparagus. Stir
the corn starch into the chicken broth and pour into the pan. Add a good
squirt or two of Sriachi sauce and stir until thick. Toss in the cooked
pasta and stir, top with Parmesan.

Bought the first lot directly from a poultry farm when they were 4 weeks
old (which we collected ourselves) - and their beaks were intact. Then we
bought some 6-8 months old chickens from a neighbour (who had bought them
from a different poultry farm) and their beaks were intact too.

Ours just don't eat carrots - not even cooked.

FWIW, we've had exactly one rooster - but he eventually became so
aggressive towards us whenever we got close to his 'harem' (to the point
of drawing blood) that he ended up in the pot.

Order a couple hundred from a hatchery and they will likely
be debeaked.

The ones we got from our neighbour came from a batch of 500 she ordered...

The crowing didn't worry me that much (and yes they do crow at the oddest
times of day or night) - it was those talons of his that he put to good
use when taking flying leaps at me. Heh, he scratched my legs several
times which was actually quite painful (not to mention tearing holes in my
jeans). My daughter was only 5 or 6 y/o back then and one particular day,
when he leaped up at *her* and scratched her face (also drawing blood)
that was when his ticket was up - because she could have lost an eye or
been scarred for life. No more roosters here, thankyewverymuch.

Back in the old days of chicken/turkey ranching, we always debeaked the
chicks using a machine with a red hot top bar. I always hated the smell of
it. That was in CA in the 50's and early 60's. I don't even know if they
still do it, and I'm sure the machinery is much more modern now.

It's an stress behaviour common in overcrowded intensive cage-farm
conditions.
Birds raised in higher welfare conditions rarely do it. The
Netherlands and UK will shortly implement a ban on beak trimming.

He sure did. Our hens actually seemed quite relieved after he
'disappeared' because they had 'peace and quiet' after that ;-)

We've only got 9 of the old biddies left now as the rest have just died of
old age - but they still lay a couple of eggs a day between them... and
they've been almost like pets - and good layers to boot, so they are
welcome to stay and enjoy their retirement - until they too go off to that

I had one rooster like that. Every few weeks he would fly at me, the
last time he caught me by surprise and got me twice with his spurs in
my ankle... his new career as chicken stock was much more pleasant
(and tastier).
