Wow, just stunning, Jane.

I’ve been raising chickens for 15 years, barred rocks. They are so predictable in laying I could set my watch by them. I raise a new group of hens every other year to replace the older ladies who don’t lay as much.

Here’s a little report from my neck of the woods. It was around Sept/Oct mine quit laying all except 2 chickens. We normally get 12 eggs/day and during a molt/wintertime (Nov /Dec) it usually drops to 6, but picks back up in Jan. With additional coop light hours, by now I should be back to dozen/day.

I have been using the same brands of feed from TSC. I have two chickens that continued to lay consistently and I marked them last week with blukote. They are two of my older hens too. Those hens are running to the billy goat area and eat out of the goat trough. My chickens are free range too but they definitely need supplemented in the winter.

I started giving all of them goat feed, but last week, I got a bag of feed that is locally made and have been feeding it. I have gone from 2 eggs/day to 5 in one week. It will be interesting to see what happens from here.

I for sure think something is going on, but I have been suspicious with all the processing plants, bird flu, meat facilities, etc for over a year. Couple that with Gates and his BIOMILQ and chicken-less egg investments and who knows what all else…

I have suspicions about my garden as well, something is very off all around. Several other gardeners around here have said the same. IDK.

Edited to add - I don’t cull my old hens, we still keep them around they just don’t produce much anymore 🙂

Thanks for your first hand report. This is so scary.

We have neighbors on both sides of us also with chickens. Heard a rooster one morning while out filling our bird feeder and was surprised to hear the rooster wasn't over from our back yard but one street over from the front of our house. I live in a subdivision in the city limits.

My town is well-known for our underground railroad busy during and after the civil war. Many stories of odors coming from the basements along our main street. People in the family talking about the order they'll never forget. I am leading to something but somewhat hard to put into words.

Ten years ago our busy train city stopped having trains come through. About a year ago I noticed tracks were being fixed and trains were again coming through our town around 10:00pm. The train just happens to appear on the Ohio river area across from the area near Fort Knox.

It just happens to travel along the main street the underground railroad here is located. Our down town above the underground railroad is blocked and allows only one lane of traffic. Businesses are suffering BUT the last 6 or more years people are cleaning up upper floors of downtown stores and living up stairs.(Who knows the size of the underground area is below our town) Please stay with me.

The main street that is so-called being worked on actually has no machines and noticeable worked being done- but two men if any in yellow vest standing around the area trying to look busy.

I've been telling the family at get togethers something is going on UNDER THE STREET ON THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. Yes, I got eyes rolling a year ago. Now our large family is gathered talking at our many get-togethers about WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON UNDER OUR TOWN? And when is this so-called work going to be done?

And they are finally noticing the many train whistles. Last year they thought I was just crazy. People are now finally waking up!! I think I'll stop here. MUCH MUCH more is going on than we'll ever know.

Please take care and I haven't forgotten the sweet ONE'S here. I just have a lot going on around me. Prayers for our great people here in the US of A. May God shield us and protect us.
