hmmm, interesting. I caught a video last week (but can’t remember where right now) and the guy said his hens had quite laying and so he switched from Tractor Suppy Feed to something else and the hens started laying again. Several people, that raised chickens, commented that they also had hens that weren’t laying and had used Tractor Supply Feed. Their hens started laying again too, after switching to another feed. The plot thickens!

TSC no bueno. I used to like that store but they won't sell you Ivermectin if it's for human use and have signs everywhere saying it's NOT for human consumption and does NOT cure any human illness.

we get our eggs locally - small farm - the birds roam all day and are brought inside at night (to keep them safe from predators). truly free range birds and very loved. i asked her about this phenomena - she hadn't heard of it - and said she has not seen this w/her hens.

be interested to know where the feed is coming from with those noticing this. is it locally created?

If the Irish had grown Anything along with their Potatoes, there would have been no famine.

Interesting. I switched our feed from Dumor chicken feed when I saw it was made by purina. We've been getting more eggs since then but may try the goat feed

Dumor is a good feed. I get 30-45 eggs daily. Plus free range foraging.

It makes their day longer in the winter and they will be more likely to lay. Takes a couple weeks for them to catch up. It works.

my egg person says they don't do that. egg production always slows down in the winter a bit due to light issue- so they don't add the extra light. causes too much stress to the birds.

Are all your chickens the same type? If you have mixed breeds in there, you can get different shade colors of eggs.

My chickens, love leftovers. One time I fed them leftover purple cabbage they were so beautiful.
