I also threatened mine. Told them I would make wings and picken chicken. I didn’t suspect the food and only bought it cause it was a few bucks cheaper. It was odd.
The chickens are holding out for $10 a dozen to cash in...
I eat two dozen a week...
Just hire Frankie and Bing.

BioTech has your cure, you just need their ‘better’ chickens.

Chickens always slow or stop their egg laying when the days become short. This is not new.
Of all the grain I know to avoid, corn is at the top of the list (way too much omega 6). (Wheat is not your friend either, but that's for a different thread.)
As I can, I also avoid GMO Frankenstein foods, including modified grains.
Might the hens have been fed GMO garbage, and could that affect their endocrine systems?
You think eggs are expensive ... wait until you fertilize one
notice some call it chicken feed, some call it chicken food.
Most likely...the folks they interview don’t sound too bright.
This is the same protocol my wife follows. The ladies are still laying.
I have noticed the same. DuMOR from TSC. I have switched to a feed made locally a few days ago and it is two soon to say but I had twice as many eggs today.
Whatever is happening to my layers is not the same as their normal winter, post molt slowdown. I use a coop light to add a few extra hours, they are free range + feed + mealworms. I’ve been raising chickens for 12 years.
It’s possible.
Anything is these days.
However, it is also winter and the days are shorter and chickens always let up on egg laying for a few months in winter.
They will eat anything you put in front of them except bones and some veggie rinds/skins. Although I am not positive they eat onions though. Growing up, all the table scraps went into the chicken pen, especially eggshells.
I was sorry to hear this, as I like Tractor Supply, and buy regularly, but I don't have chickens.
I'm broke, I just paid $5.99 for a dozen eggs.
From China?
LOL, thanks for the chuckle my good FRiend.
My chickens have been virtually shut down in Egg Production since October.
