basically this study says that if you feed a chicken corn it will have way more polyunsaturated fatty acid in its diet in its body than a wild bird
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

the fatty acid content in chicken thigh and breast as affected by dietary polyunsaturated level basically this study says that if you feed a chicken corn it will have way more polyunsaturated fatty acid in its diet in its body then a wild bird okay so basically chickens fed corn are like a synthetic or a sneaky source of vegetable oil
this is another study that I've shared in the past showing that the fatty acid composition of chicken thighs is significantly affected by their dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid level
you can enrich laying hence diet by feeding diets with different fatty acid composition and antioxidants the takeaway here is that we know that when you feed a chicken changes the composition of the egg changes the composition of the meat changes the composition of the fat of that chicken and it's going to make it either evolutionarily consistent or evolutionarily inconsistent
the fatty acid content in chicken thigh and breast as affected by dietary polyunsaturated fat level this is an article from these authors from 2004 the journal is poultry science we find the coolest stuff and you can see here that um basically the takeaway is that if the chickens were fed more polyunsaturated fat they had more polyunsaturated fat in their fat no [ __ ] if they're fed more mono or saturated fat then there's less polyunsaturated fat in their fat
most chickens most turkeys most ducks etc insert your bird of choice here are going to be fed corn and soy they're going to be fed vegetable oils that is going to lead to enriched levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their fat not a good thing
