I don't know how any of you guys live in normal life. I work at home and my work comes to me. My groceries come to me. I literally am living a new world order life already. But on the egg note! My birdies are going to start laying eggs in about 3 weeks, I am so excited! And it seems like perfect timing since eggs are so expensive.
Go hens! Hey, watch your chicken food. I had been feeding mine what was supposed to be a good layer feed. They stopped laying completely and didn't seem to be feeling well. We switched their food to a mix of scratch grains with just a fraction of the feed and they're laying their butts off again and are obviously feeling perkier.
I have seen lots of reports on line about tractor supply food having issues. Many people are saying their egg production dropped or stopped completely.
Mine came from Rural King but they may be carrying some of the same brands. I think brand reports would be more reliable than generic it came from whatever store.
Chickens can stop laying in winter although I hadn't had that before. Egg farms get around this by using lights to give them light similar to warmer months. Probably the best bet is to get a trash can with a secure lid and toss in a mixture of this and that - different brands, different types.
Look at how not only size but quality of human foods have dropped. I'm sure they're doing the same with animal food.
