BIL has a small bunch of hens and a rooster.
We’ve been buying eggs from him for awhile now.
He’d been buying his feed from a local feed store, but switched to Tractor Supply awhile back. The hens completely stopped laying...all of em....nada, not an egg one.
Switched back to the local feed store and just like that, they started laying again...
Weird as heck....maybe them chickens are smarter than they look....they’re for sure smarter than any liberal known to mankind.
I have been using dumar feed for years. Gotten at TS. My chickens always produced more eggs than I could eat. Then this year they stopped totally right around Sept. I thought it was weird, next time I went to the TS I got the lower cost brand. Cause the price has skyrocketed like most things. They started laying about 8 days later.
Maybe the transgender folks are slipping pubertal blockers into the feed. They don’t want the hens reproducing.
