      They only lay so many in a lifetime. I hope you plan on making them meat birds after they slow or stop producing in a few years.
      It's a natural process and it let's their bodies recoup for spring laying.
      If your in a starvation situation by all means get them girls a laying! Lol but they only lay so many.
      As someone else said they are not a endless little egg factory.
      My grandmother raised hens. I was at her house alot and she explained it to me then. Love them and they will give. Blessings and good luck.
      Ps they are your chicken you can do as you wish. I just thought you should know before they stop laying in 2-3years when you can get 5-7 years given good health and proper diet.... proper seasonal rest. Joy to you and your family.

      The reason is the culling of millions of chickens under the guise of them suddenly having the "avian flu".
      Now they are going after the backyard chickens as more people are raising their own.
      Once a company goes public, the WEF sends their minions, mainly Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street, to buy millions in stock. When that happens, the owners are no longer in control of their company. They take marching orders from the WEF, or suffer the consequences.

      The reason eggs are more expensive is three things. One chicken feed prices are up two. There was some avian flu that killed a lot of chickens. Therefore, let's chickens, less eggs and three the price of meat is up so people are eating more eggs than they usually did. That is why the price of eggs is up.

I wondered if the food had something to do with it and low and behold I run across your channel. Now I really believe there's something to it. Especially with all these "accidental" egg companies going up in smoke. They're definitely trying to make it hard for us folks.

    I had an uneasy feeling about TS almost from the get go.

It just gave that vibe of being an agricultural version of a big box store, the WalMart of the farming world.
    While it doesn't make sense for TS to deliberately be sabotaging egg production because when people find out the feed reduces production they will obviously buy elsewhere, it is entirely feasible that since they are so big, they are a prime target for putting bad product into their stores by those who are trying to keep us from being self sufficient. Unless they ARE aware and are being paid off to stock bad feed.

      That’s what worries me. We have tried three different layer feeds that the hens are refusing. I’m worried it’s not just a lack of nutrients but maybe they’re tainted. Why else won’t they eat the feed?

      Do you feed pellet or crumble feed ? Katie.

      In my experience hens have a hard time eating pellet chicken feed . Crumble has always been excepted readily for us . If you have alot of pellets now though you can mix it with a little water to make it a soft crumble and feed in a bowl .

    Some of your other videos talk about what to feed your chickens. I'm glad to know this information as we do want to get chickens when we move. Thank you for everything. We have been watching your channel for a few years and our kids even LOVE learning. They have been open to trying new things and we love it too. Education and knowledge is the key! Spread the word!!

    I remember growing up we feed chicken only cracked corn. We had a bucket we soaked corn in water for a couple days then feed to chickens. Grandpa also had a bucket with small gravel sand mix. He would throw couple had fulls down. They would go crazy over it. Not sure why? Love you guys keep up the good work.

    Congratulations on 1 million!! We have had the same issue with that feed. We also feed table scraps, fruit and vegetables. We recently found a local feed store we will be purchasing from. Thank you for the information on how to make our own. That may be what we do from now on. Keep up the great work!
