Chicken Feed stop laying… another confirmation.

Chicken Feed stop laying… another confirmation.

Holy smokes, so this is about centralizing the food supply into one huge conglomerate! Take out every private company and every individual farm/homestead. Making everyone dependent on just one mega establishment. Zorg in the making!
Then use AI to run it?!
-
My thoughts exactly! Sad we have no chance to fight any of this since the judiciary system is corrupt as well. Who would dare risk their livelihood or life to stand up to the powers that be that are destroying our way of life & country!! Just keep on living and preparing for whatever comes our way.
-
We can only work around it. I’m going to talk to some local garden centers, maybe they’re willing to stock individually bagged grains so we can mix it ourselves.
Meanwhile, I’m glad that most of my feed has been purchased before September. I also feed my girls a good mix including wild bird seeds from Lowe’s and they can forage all they want.
Like I said, our best bet is to work around it and as local as possible.

just saw this too. they think its GMO corn

Solution to feed having enough protein. Off grid with Doug and Stacey tells you how to put together your own chicken feed. https://youtu.be/HITumhzmD-Q
-
I heard that the chicken feed being questioned had either 17%or 19% protein and chickens need well over 20% protein maybe 23% to lay eggs in the winter so you need to up the protein to be successful with the egg laying.
-
Layer feed here is usually 16%. I have guineas, they need more like 20 to 21%.

With all the talk of our “HENS” not laying eggs due to this highly debated feed debacle, I wonder if our roosters are still fertile or if are they shooting blanks? Just wondering as my broody hen was sitting on a clutch of eggs and it has been well over 30 days and NOTHING has happened. Guess I need to crack open some of those eggs to see if there are embryos or just rotten yokes inside. Just saying.
Has anybody had chicks hatched that were feeding their chickens/roo’s the questionable feed? Has anyone incubated any eggs (maybe not if none were laid) but maybe they got a few during their initial slow-down period to incubate? Just curious.
If the powers that be have actually caused the cessation of egg laying with this feed, who is to say they haven’t included something to prevent roo’s from fertilizing the eggs to stop the reproduction cycle for private citizens/small businesses chickens? No fertile roo’s, no chicks, no future hens to lay eggs.
Would be kind of hard at this point to prove this since no hens have been laying but something to think about. Not trying to stir another hornets nest but something to look for when the hens start laying again. Saying they tainted or lacked crucial ingredients in some brands of feed, who’s to say they haven’t done the same with other brands to cause sterilization in the roo’s when people swap feeds?? I know, why worry about something that hasn’t happened yet…but my gut & brain are warning me that this could be an issue down the road.-
Going to save eggs for the first hatching, waiting on one old hen just joined that line. With old rooster Baba, breed with him as long as he is able to. Can tell you when it is so far, knowing it is not the hens, rooster, eggs and machine, so we will see.
-
@JerseyGiantChick Thank you. As soon as mine start laying again I plan to gather some of the eggs to incubate as well…JUST TO SEE if they are fertile. I roo is a Lavender Orphington and is just over a year old so he SHOULD be fertile.
I have also gotten with my friend that owns our local Feed/Seed store about saving me 12 Buff Orphington pullets when they come in Friday. I know I don’t need any more mouths to feed but if the price of eggs continue to go up, I could make some money selling eggs to offset the cost of feed (that I’m going to start making myself!). -
See it as a infestation eggs chicks and meat, they will pay themselves back and some feed.
-
-
I don’t think you’re stirring a hornets nest at all, this was exactly what I was discussing with my husband this morning. All of this would so fall in line with everything else that’s going on with the supply chain and the vax. Making everyone and everything sterile – all out full control .
When they start laying again, crack open an egg and check for the bulls eye, if there is one great, if not, then we have to worry.
-
@Summerhat-n-Chicks Glad I’m not the only one thinking this could happen. We know what is going on and the plans for total control of everyone in every aspect of their lives. They surely wouldn’t create just ONE PROBLEM that could be figured out & resolved without having something else to even FURTHER their intentions. These people are SMART be we have to be a step ahead of them at all times. I had already planned to check for the bullseye when they start laying again. Was going to pull the eggs my broody hen had been sitting on but never got outside this afternoon. Will do that in the morning to see if they have an embryo or just rotten yolks.
I’ve got 12 Buff Orphington pullets reserved to pick up Friday at our local Feed/Seed store. I’m friends with the owner and she is going to hold me 12 back as she fears they will be sold out as soon as they get them out for sale. I know I don’t need any more mouths to feed but I figure I can raise them for eggs and sell them to help cover the cost of feed. I’m also going to start making my own if I can find a co-op around my area. Not trusting ANY commerically made feed anymore. Once I can get some grains grown, I will just use what I can grow. Expanding my chicken area, too, so they can have room to forage, too, so they will help with feed cost, too. Just another project to do but a much NEEDED decision to curb needed feed. -
Absolutely, we definitely need to be one step ahead of their antics.
I already looked into incubators, just in case none of my girls want to do this job. I know definitely that my eggs are viable and they’re all picking up with laying again even my youngest has started laying a couple of days ago. Mine sort of never really stopped.
I also want to figure out how I could create a “manual “ incubator without needing electricity, just in case everything else fails. It would be tough, but worth a try.
-
It would be interesting to study how folks incubated eggs before electricity. I can remember my grandmother having a box of eggs near the old time, gas heater. Soon the eggs became chicks.
-
It’s just awesome what the old folks can teach us. I was thinking along the lines of my wood stove. I’m so gonna look into this. 👍

@Summerhat-n-Chicks Have you ever incubated eggs before?? Can be a trial & error experience as the heat/humidity has to be precise during certain days of incubation period. I have done this in years past with great success rate but only after several failed attempts. If you decided to purchase an incubator try to find one with a fan, egg turner, thermometer AND HYGROMETER (Humidity levels). They will probably be a bit expensive. I have 2 incubators with the fan/auto egg turner. It had a thermometer but it was NOT accurate. I went to LOWES & bought a thermometer/hygrometer in the lawn/garden section which solved my problems keeping temp/humidity at correct levels. If you don’t get one with auto egg turner you will have to do this manually at least twice a day and that is a PAIN (if you have a very busy homestead schedule).
I also use the DRY HATCH method to incubate. Here are two links explaining why it works. Also including a couple of pic’s of some of my chicks hatching with the thermometer/hygrometer showing temp/humidity then a pic of what was hatched with the incubator. I have a habit of taking pic’s of my projects for future reference or to share with others.I’m also looking into DIY incubators. Those I’ve found so far use the sun and clay pots outside. Won’t work here where I live with our excessive humidity. Looking into other idea’s of building one but as long as we have power and I have gas & solar generators I may try using the incubators I have with the solar generator to see how much power they use & if my system would handle it thru the entire process (21 days). Will use my Kilometer to check kw usage when running then do the math to see if when fully charged would it last. I have solar panels but didn’t want to hook those up & keep them in a safe place in case we have an EMP (either solar CME or man made) or nuke…if you know what I mean.
Let me know what you find out and I will be researching further for something to use with no power and how to control heat/humidity with no power. LOTS to consider and look at especially where you live. Cooler temps as you have to keep temp consistent at 98(F) night & day & humidity around 55% (+/-) the 1st 18 days the higher the last 3 days in lockdown *when you do not open the incubator.I know our ancestors had to have a way they did it and I will continue searching for the OLD WAYS.
I have heard from many friends to get some “bantam hens” as they are ALWAYS broody and will sit on chicken eggs to hatch them out. Got to do a bit more research on that as well as a breed of chicken/hen that will be broody. I may put my broody hen on LOCKDOWN in a special coop of her own and feed/water her in her own coop that would be protected from all vermin (including snakes that are bad here, even now). Just rat snakes but they still devour eggs.
-
Here is another link to dry hatch incubation that goes a bit more into details as to what to keep the temp/humidity levels at during incubation process.
https://www.muranochickenfarm.com/2018/03/dry-incubation.html
-
Omg, thanks for all the info. I had a broody hen last year. Since it was the first time and I didn’t know if she would finish the job, I gave her only three eggs which two of them hatched and the third didn’t make it. I really hope I can count on her again this year.
I’ve started looking into incubators and found the Magicfly Digital Mini Fully Automatic Egg Incubator seems to be a great fit. Since I’m working three days a week plus additional irregular hours, I definitely need something fully automatic and reliable since I can’t trust my husband to keep an eye on it.
I still want to learn everything I can about incubating “manually “ just in case everything else fails.
Tomorrow is a day off and I’m going to check some more on incubators plus I want to talk to some local nurseries and see if I can interest someone to start varying chicken feed in lieu of the current eve.
Thanks for the links, I’ll definitely check them out.

Here’s a lot of research/info explaining why your chickens stopped laying eggs. Give a look.
(19) This MOM is WARNING about CHICKEN FEED! W O W – YouTube
-
Yep. The companies don’t have to tell you about changes they are making to food. So, it might be the same food but it might not be the same quality. We let ours free range, snacks and feed. On the days I give them extra protein, we get 6-7 eggs.
-
Just found some interesting info: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33191178/
-
Very interesting. Great find. Thanks for sharing.
-
-
There is a widely shared study on Pub Med that showed egg yolks attack spike proteins found in the jab. Also, several videos on reduced protein in TS feeds. Mike Adams’ lab is conducting tests on all TS feeds.
-
For those questioning if anyone is doing any testing on the TSC-PURINA Chicken Feed being questioned for the cessation of thousands of homesteads & backyard chicken owner’s hens that stopped laying eggs. Here is a screenshot from Mike Adams, Health Ranger of Natural News & Brighteon, that has his own independent lab stating they are conducting tests of the feeds in question.
From what he has listed that he is testing for I HOPE he tests the protein quality & percentage levels as well as for the supposed lacking amino acids, Lysine & Methionine.This screenshot was from his Telegram Channel on January 28, 2023. As of this morning, I have seen no reports of his findings posted. I know his lab is also testing other foods he reported on his Telegram channel. I do not know how long it takes to do all this testing. I will report his findings and urge others to do the same in the event I don’t see it since I’m not on the computer all day, every day.
-
Awesome! I suggested doing just such an experiment in an earlier comment. Glad to see science at work. PS DO NOT GET Dr. Fauci involved.
-
You can rest assured that Mike Adams would NEVER let Fraudci NEAR his lab or have any dealings with him or his minions. He is a conservative Patriot that has been censored so much thru the years trying to spread the TRUTH of Big Pharma & other 3 letter agencies trying to destroy or taint our food sources. He has also sued Google/Gmail from removing his name/website completely from any internet searches & shut down his gmail acct. His YT channel was banned & completely deleted and you can’t post any of his links on Messenger or FB, even today. In other words he is a threat to the powers that be.
He has his original website, Natural News but also owns Brighteon which is like YT for people to upload vid’s that are never censored. He also has a TV Broadcast called Brighteon TV and interviews many whistleblowers trying to expose the truth about what is happening in todays times in many areas from political to c-19, weather warfare/geoengineering. Exceptionally smart & well educated in many areas.
He even purchased a privately owned IP/domain outside this country for people to access in the event the WWW goes down to get emergency info, alerts, etc.
He lives in TX and has a big farm of his own so knows the importance of keeping our animals healthy. I would call him a health fanatic. He does sell a lot of lab tested (by his lab) products & supplements that are free from any unnecessary fillers, additives or tainted ingredients. He also has written books and some are free to download from his website.
If ANYONE can get to the bottom of this feed debacle, it would be him and would be facts to support his findings. -
I love Mike Adams. He has a good channel on Rumble and I really enjoy the website he created, Brighteon. Always great Patriots on Brighteon. I had sent Mike a message a few weeks ago on Facebook Messenger about the chicken feed. Sounds like several folks did. What an awesome guy! Thank you DeepSouthBamaGrits for posting all that you have found on the subject! Now we can move forward and spread the word and get a class action lawsuit going. Thanks, again!
-
I have followed Mike Adams for years. He has his website, Natural News and I’m signed up to get his emails. I also follow him on the Telegram platform. He uses that to release info almost immediately. He posted 8 releases so far today on Telegram and that is a lot more than normal for him on the weekend!
I’m subbed to him on Brighteon and like many of the other creators that post vid’s there. I’m not on his social media platform as I have more than I have time to keep up with now. I do watch shows on Brighteon TV when I have time. I usually listen to vid’s after supper or when I’m packing jars to can, chopping veggies to dehydrate or vacuum sealing dry goods or dehydrated veggies. These days I have to utilize every single minute of each day as things in this country are really ramping up a lot faster than I expected.
-
Still waiting for his report on the analysis of the chicken feed his lab tested. Last week he released about finding glyphosate in the Puritan Pride TSC and said the full analysis of the testing would be released last week. Haven’t seen anything yet. But he has been covering everything else relevant to current events.
How did you send him a msg on Messenger? Anytime I try to post a link there it is marked as spam or won’t send due to violation of community standards. What FB group is out there covering the chicken feed debacle? I would like to check it out.
-

-
Sounds good. Someone with the passion for what is needed in a time it is needed. Perfect.
-
I was reading some comments on Homestead Hearts video on their YT about their chickens not laying due to the TSC questionable feed. This could be one proof it is the PROTEIN levels in the current feed causing the problem. I’ve replied to the person asking if she could contact her sisters friend to see if she would send me the report to share with others. Fingers crossed it will happen!
“A friend of my sister’s raises chickens, and she had the same problem with Dumor and Producers Pride. The hens completely stopped laying. She changed the feed and sent samples to our local county extension office, who then forwarded the samples to the University of Florida for testing. They determined that the feed had LESS THAN HALF THE PROTEIN STATED ON THE BAG. She said that if enough people take their feed to get tested and get the same results, then a class action lawsuit would be possible.”
-
Mike Adams, Health Ranger of Natural News made a post on his Telegram Channel today. He has the test results from the 6 TSC Chicken Feed that they tested. I couldn’t do a screen shot as I’m on my PC so I will copy/paste his post:
We can CONFIRM now that Tractor Supply’s brand of chicken feed, Producer’s Pride 16% Layer Feed Mini Pellets, contains about TWICE the glyphosate of any other brand we tested. The next highest brand was Purina Layena Layer Crumbles. But the Tractor Supply brand had twice the level. We will release actual numbers this week, in a video. Watch for details at NaturalNews.com and my daily podcast at Brighteon.com, HR Report channel, which is: https://www.brighteon.com/channels/hrreport
-
Where are you supposed to get your chicken feed if all you have in the area is TSC?
-
It sucks but we have been going twice as far to NOT buy from TSC!
-
I know it’s a pain. I guess there is not much you can do unless you try making some of your own. You never no what these companies are putting in all their feed nowadays.
-
I am stopping eating at Cracker Barrel. I just don’t want meat that has been injected with mRNA. Insta pot for the win.
-
-
-
TSC feed (some) = Purina = 2020 Class action lawsuit for knowingly selling product carcinogenic.
And here we thought only China was killing our pets.
-
Alot of people say it’s the protein level in the feed. When it gets to low they can’t produce. Not sure if it’s intentional or not but a few other places also sell that feed too.
-
Yes, as the video I posted he has been doing this for many years, and this is the first year he has had problems. So, this is not newbies who are reporting these problems it is people who know what their birds do.
-
That would make sense…
-
There are some videos i believe of people making their own feed out of stale chips, crackers and cereal type stuff. I would look up what type stuff is harmful first though.
Alot of people use food scraps too.
-
Yes there are. I have been looking at using sweet potatoes and white yams as a food source for chickens. I would like to store a few years worth of chicken food then raise then out, then can the chickens and have that on the shelf.
-
I have fed my chickens stale (but not rancid) crackers & cereals. After I saw a vid of someone lighting a Cheeto and it stayed lit I wondered about what is being put in snacks/chips that would make them catch fire & actually burn. My son was lighting a big bonfire New Years Eve and all of his wood was wet from the rain we had earlier. He had a box of stale Cheetos he was going to burn so he threw several bags of them on the fire and HOLY SMOKE, the fire lit up with flames over 4 ft high. He actually started his bonfire with those crazy puffed Cheetos!! So I would DEFINITELY be leery of what kind of snack food or chips I would be feeding to my chickens.
-
That’s sounds like a good idea. Others should plan for the future too. What if all the feed suppliers shut down tomorrow what would everyone do? The way they want to control us it’s always possible. I had heard they found the bird flu by using the same PCR test they used for covid. Well we know how inaccurate that junk was. There seems to be no honesty anymore.
-
Yes they use the PCR test for the chickens….. and yes the PCR test is manipulated by how many cycles are done you can force false positives…
I am all about plan B. Building local communities to counter what the World Economic Forum has planned for us, many of which are in our own government, seems like a wise move.
-
Yea i agree. I can’t believe how many people believed that our own Government wouldn’t lie to us and everything on TV is true. I have good gut instincts which turns out to be right alot. I think i got it from my mom she was the same way. Do what you feel you need to do and if others laugh at you ignore them and continue on. They will learn soon or later.
-
That is true. I had read that THEY had to do several PCR tests on one chicken in order to get a false positive in order to shut down one egg-producing farm which they did. At the end of 2022, 52,695,450 egg-producing chickens were dispatched in the USA. Yes, you read that right almost 53 MILLION. This not only creates egg shortages & disruption in the supply chain for eggs resulting in higher prices for the consumer. BUT it has a two-fold problem in that it ALSO eliminates CHICKS to be hatched since Chicken Hatcheries were also closed & the chickens dispatched.
Those of you that incubate eggs may want to consider upping your incubation numbers to be able to get more chicks to homesteaders that will be trying to buy them this spring. I’m sure there are Hatcheries still around but the demand for them due to eggs prices skyrocketing may deplete their stocks quickly this year. -
Thanks. for that info. Yeah I imagine people might want to block me as I post tons of links and my interests may not match theirs.

MrSunShine Yosef comment; as it reads, is in a form of a question.
-
😂😂😂I needed this comment. Thank you.
-
WOW…so you threaten me for asking a question. Says alot about you.
-
Ok, if you are going to act like that I’m out of here.
-
Whats burning is… fat/oil. Most veg oils burn. You can pour olive oil in a container put a wick in it and viola, “oil lamp” (that’s what is often used on the iconostasis in Orthodox churches)
-
D’oh, I knew that! Geez, I guess I was too mesmerized by the flaming Cheeto torch to have my right mind about me! I’ll take that GIBB SLAP to bring me back to reality! LOL!
-
All you need to do is read the last three words of his comment. It is stating that a question is being asked? Here’s a question for you: Are you reading all of a comment or just enough to form an opinion of your liking?

Try reading.

-
Yes, and then we have another poultry farm fire over the weekend killing a large amount of chickens. Who could have guessed that? Don’t be surprised if the USDA starts going to people’s houses checking their livestock. Wondering when Americans are going to say enough is enough and this stops now.
-
No woodsman it was Mr sunshine with bombard my box with cat photos. I appreciate your response. Didn’t know that punctuation was the highest priority in communication. Wasn’t using caps, hahaha
-
👍
-
Yes, I read about the fire at Hollandale Farm, one of the US largest egg-producing farms. Killed 100,000K chickens.
Reports I’ve also read about the quality of the chicken feed debacle is due to poor quality grains being used (POOR proteins lowering the required daily %’s amounts chickens need for egg production) AND the feed(s) that are in question have little to no Lysine & Methionine which are essential amino acids found in meat, fish, and dairy products. Amino acids are the building blocks used to make proteins. This is why people that are feeding their chicken’s cooked rice/beans & CAT FOOD are now seeing an uptick in their egg production. Lysine is found in RICE and Methionine is found in Cat food. Also, Russia has banned the exporting of Lysine and there has been a shortage of it in the US since 2021. ANOTHER reason to stop putting it in the feed. I’m waiting on Mike Adams to report his findings on his testing of these feeds (Natural News-Health Ranger). He owns his own independent lab. So those wishing to debunk the chicken feed issue are wrong.
Something else we need to pay attention to. Everyone knows the Mississippi River is at its lowest level ever. Barge traffic is at a bare minimum and can only transport light loads. They were dredging the river in places where NO BARGE traffic could navigate. My son is a journeyman Captain on a barge so he knows about the river conditions and said they (& other barge companies) have unloaded TONS & TONS of wheat & other grains that are sitting on the banks of the MS River that are on pallets & covered in tarps. MILES & MILES of huge stacks of wheat/grains. Watch for a major snow melt up north and flooding rains this spring. The MS River flows south & empties into the Gulf. The Army Corps of Engineers had to sandbag the mouth of the MS River to hold the water from emptying into the Gulf. What better way to destroy all that wheat/grain (that is desperately needed for our food & feed production) sitting on the dry banks of the MS River now than to create a major flood???? The US winter wheat crops were destroyed by the excessive cold/snow this year right at harvest time. No time to replant as weather conditions have not been conducive AND the shortage of seeds/fertilizer is either non-existent or unaffordable for some farmers to replant there may be no winter harvest at all. The last harvests of grains & wheat are sitting on the banks of the MS River. Imports are halted to the US from the major wheat/grain producing countries, the US$ will soon be a useless payment option since many countries are pulling out of US TRADE from the devaluation of the US$. This snowball is getting bigger & bigger and the rabbit hole is getting VEWWY VEWWY DEEP!! Just my take on what COULD and PROBABLY will happen.
-
Yes, if it wasn’t really happening you would swear it’s in a book called how to destroy America. So much of this is intentional and i hope those people are punished severely. I’ve been using cash and checks as much as i can lately. It might not stop the inevitable but maybe we can slow it down for awhile.

Posted this on the Dark Side group.
There may be a more nefarious reason for disappearing eggs. Found out about these today- one from comment section of TheConservativetreehouse.com (Highly recommend) and the other thedc Patriot.com/
Evidently there are multiple scientific studies from 2021-22 showing covid is stopped by egg-yoke antibodies. Blocks the ACE2 receptors from binding to the spike protein for original and mutations.
Conclusions from study 1… “Egg yolk antibodies seem to be a neutralizing agent against SARSCov 2…It might be a feasible tool for control of Covid 19.”

I wish we could stop the coming CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) but in order for THEIR agenda to continue its forward motion, there has to be a RESET. Even in my very remote rural area I’m seeing more & more signs of the cashless society rearing its ugly face. Some gas stations only offer credit/debit card sales at the pump. NO cash. Fast food joints now use ordering from a KIOSK and paying with debit/credit cards ONLY. NO CASH. Of course everyone knows about Walmart trying to push everyone to use the self checkouts. This is just the BREAKING IN STAGE of going to a cashless society. Other stores, even some grocery stores & our local rural Dollar General are doing it here now. If it is in MY SMALL HOMETOWN NOW, it’s not far from being implemented. I’m hearing by June or July this year.
Some people will have no problems living under the total control of the gov’t. They will control your money or the money THEY ALLOW you to have or spend and what you can/can’t buy, if anything at all if you don’t comply with their agenda/narratives. Wonder when the social status scores will be rolled out like is in place in China now? What about the 15-minute cities…read about those if you haven’t already heard of them. Glad I’m also conditioning myself to STAY HOME, BE A LONER and learning to do without things I can’t grow/raise, forage, hunt, barter, or build.
It is all like a movie we’re living or reading the NT TIMES Best Seller Book…None of it seems real. Nothing we can do to stop it so buckle up & hang on for the ride of your life! -
It actually IS in a book. Its called “Covid-19: The Great Reset” by Klaus Schwab. No joke.
-
There seems to be a problem with the poor quality of grains used and lack of 2 crucial amino acids needed for egg production. Lysine & Methionine. Lysine is found in rice, beans, pasta and Methionine in cat food. The reports I have seen where people were feeding their chickens rice/beans/pasta and catfood or even goat feed has given them what they were lacking in the questionable feed being fed so egg production resumed.
Regardless of what the cause was or what company made or sold the feed, I want a solution to fix the problem with my chickens not laying. I will also refrain from using those brands of feed and will begin making my own as it seems a lot of problems have & will continue to arise with commercially processed feeds. Just another reason for us all to become a bit more self-sufficient/sustainable and go back to the old ways that worked with our ancestors than becoming so dependent on “convenience” & store-bought products.
-
Yes, I saw that as well. We are all waiting for the results either on Telegram, Natural News Site or Brighteon. I’m sure he will post a vid with his findings.
-
I read that article yesterday and thought this is why they are trying to stop egg production or forcing egg prices thru the roof so people couldn’t afford to buy them.
I had been giving some of my extra eggs to a needy family (with 4 kids) in my community as they said they couldn’t afford to buy a lot of meat and now eggs since they had gone up in price. They had been buying eggs (in the 5 dozen box) to make sure they had some kind of protein besides dry beans & peanut butter. The husband works as a logger but with all the rain we have been having lately, he hasn’t been able to work regularly either due to the rain or the results of having 4-6 inches (I have a rain gauge) making it impossible to get in the woods with the equipment. They don’t get many food stamps and we all know what food costs so I know they don’t go far, either.I read another article last night where they are either going to start or have already started putting the vax in the food we eat to make sure EVERYONE gets their poison.
These globalists/elite that are trying to force their NWO agenda to destroy this country (and others) are just pure evil. Too bad our judiciary system is also corrupt or the Nuremberg trials would surely be packed with all the evil being done.
If they want to RULE and CONTROL a planet then why don’t they use all their money & what they have stolen from us and establish their own society on another planet and LEAVE US THE HECK ALONE!!
Thanks for sharing that info on here for others to see. -
This doesn’t surprise me. Big Pharma controls almost everything. Get everyone sick, put them on their drugs until they die, and destroy natural medicine. Food should be your medicine, and medicine should be your food.
-
The war on eggs continues as NZ largest egg plant burns. Fascinating that here in the USA, not one single person nor group has either claimed responsibility or been arrested/ mentioned by the FBI, etc. as suspects. They must be preoccupied with raiding an anti-abortion person’s home in the wee hours, terrorizing his children, and prosecuting him ( now acquitted) all for a non-incident on abortion clinic grounds. Gotta get that Group Think going…

There are a lot of comments & replies in this discussion and I understand not being able to review them all.
I am a victim of this supposed tainted TSC feed debacle. I have 32 hens less than a yr old that had been laying prolifically, even up to the Christmas Freeze. They even laid DURING the freeze as I had gathered a dozen or more frozen eggs. I was feeding them feed bought from our local Feed/Seed store. Right before the freeze, I was in town picking up supplies at TSC for my animals & homestead (spare heat lamps/bulbs, styrofoam spigot covers, pipe wrap, bedding, etc.) and my car broke down. By the time my friend got to town, and repaired my car (in TSC parking lot), it was too late to get my normal layer pellets from my local feed/seed store as they were already closed. I had no choice but to go back inside TSC to purchase layer pellets as I was at the bottom of the barrel & didn’t know if I would be able to return to town the next day (given the freeze was upon us). I live 30+ min from town. I fed my chickens the TSC Producers Pride layer pellets and within a day or so they stopped laying completely. I thought it may be due to the fact that we had single-digit wind chill temps & never got above freezing for 3-4 days. I live in zone 8b, coastal AL so this was a rare weather event for our area. Chickens continued to be fed TSC feed and even when temps returned to our normal 60-70(F) temps, they still were not laying. Not one egg. Then I read about the TSC feed causing chickens to STOP laying eggs. As time progressed and I began seeing YT’s of the same happening with other people & in the comment section even MORE reports of others having the same problem, I realized earlier this week that I had ALSO been feeding this same feed in question. I have changed their feed back to their normal feed as well as giving them cooked rice & dry cat food as others had done to get their chickens to start laying again. I’ve not had any eggs YET, but I’m in hopes they will begin any day now.Even a well known YT homestead channel, Homestead Heart, experienced the same problem with ALL their chickens stopping laying eggs and even posted a YT to report it to their viewers.
Many theories have surfaced about the low-quality protein (or a lower protein level) being used as well as possibly no beneficial amino acids needed for egg production being in the feed-Lysine & Methionine. These amino acids are present in rice, dry beans, pasta-Lysine, and Methionine present in cat food along with it being a much higher protein level which could possibly confirm the fact of the feed in question lacking those amino acids & protein level by that feeding cooked rice/cat food jump-starting the hens laying eggs again. I also found out that Lysine is in short supply in the US as Russia stopped exporting it to the US in 2021 thus causing a nationwide shortage here.
Mike Adams, Health Ranger, of Natural News-Brighteon, owns an independent lab and has obtained these PURINA PRODUCED TSC feeds and is in the process of testing these feeds as of January 28th. He has not reported any findings as of this morning when I checked.
Doug & Stacy with Off Grid Living has also reported on this being a problem with lots of their viewers. There is other videos listed in this discussion of a possible scandal in process with Purina and the US’s largest egg producer to gain a monopoly of egg production. Nothing solid has yet been proven of any of the SUSPICIONS of the TSC feed or Purina Scandal.
I ALSO posed the question here in this discussion about the possibility of it also affecting the roosters fertility. Of course, if there are no eggs being produced by the hens fed this feed in question, there is no way yet to know if it has also affected the roosters or if any of the other feeds out there have affected rooster’s fertility.
Most all of us chicken owners know our chickens will slow egg production either during/after a molt, shorter days & excessive cold but not completely STOP for weeks, some even have stopped for a couple of months or longer that were feeding the TSC feed in question.
Most have corrected their hen’s cessation of egg production by either changing feed and/or supplementing with rice/dry beans/pasta & cat food/goat feed. I am also waiting to see if this corrects my hens to begin laying again.
And to add another twist in tampering with poultry & other animal feed, I found during my own research of this TSC feed debacle that Pfizer had been adding an organic ARSENIC to the feed (supposedly for parasitic control) that was supposed to be dispersed/eliminated but was staying in the meat of the chicken as an INORGANIC arsenic that was deemed & proven to be a human carcinogen causing a rise in bladder & lung cancer. I included reports from NIH, FDA, Pfizer, Food Safety Alerts & others to support this finding that dated back to 1944 with the onset of the use of this arsenic. They were finally ordered by the courts to remove it from use in the US effective July 2022. But with the years of testing & litigation, I can only “ASSUME” this gave Pfizer time enough to pull this arsenic from the market, reformulate it & reintroduce it for use under a NEW NAME. I didn’t research that any further due to time constraints.
Hope all of this will help you understand our concerns and to let you know we do understand hens do slow down egg laying in shorter days and excessive cold or during/after a molting. This problem is much greater than those indicators. Also, there was another report that surfaced in the last couple of days where chicken egg yolks had been studied to stop covid & its mutation to other variants. It is also reported here in this discussion.
Maybe someday we will find the truth behind all of this evil but in the meantime, we were all concerned about getting our hens healthy again to resume laying eggs.

Perhaps that’s why it started happening when it did. So people can brush it off as “normal for that time of year.” And anyone who says otherwise is just craycray. Just a thought…

Check thisMany have found that Purina chicken feed stopped their chickens from laying eggs
They switched food brands and the eggs came back
The parent company of Purina is Land O’Lakes, whose CEO is Beth Ford
You know which Board she got voted to serve on in 2021?

I have heard that about turkeys. Bantams are also very broody and will faithful sit on a clutch of chicken eggs til they hatch. They are smaller than a chicken so wouldn’t be able to sit on near as many as a chicken or turkey.
-
Yeah, That is why I did a double take, when I found out that this was from people who have been doing chickens for decades, I came to realize this is not newbies complaining, this is old timers that really know their flocks.

That was the general consensus of most of the people uploading YouTube videos about it. Even thos some of the larger channel creators had 100’s of comments reporting their chickens had been laying and then just completely stopped. We KNEW about the NORMAL slow down of egg laying during the winter, shorter days, etc., and we were literally being made fun of with other people commenting that their chickens were laying fine, but they were NOT using the Tractor Supply/Purina Producers Pride or Dumor Chicken Feed.
Not sure if you read all of the many posts but I was a victim of my 32 hens that were laying even during the Christmas Freeze. I had been to TSC to pick up heat lamps, heat bulbs, extra bedding for my chickens and my normal feed store was already closed so I picked up a couple of bags to get me thru the freeze, not knowing how bad it was going to be for us here in coastal AL where we NEVER get cold weather like we had. I knew I was at the bottom of my feed bin so while I was as TSC I got those two bags of feed. Then 2 days later they stopped laying completely. I was getting 2 dozen a day (which was normal for the shorter days for my chickens) AND my chickens were all NEW STOCK I had gotten 10 months earlier so it wasn’t their age, they were not molting nor had been…NOTHING unusual except changing to that TSC feed. No clue it was the feed that caused it til about a month later in January when they still weren’t laying & then I started seeing reports all over social media about THAT FEED! I commented of several of the YouTube channels to make sure MY VOICE was heard and I’ve raised chickens for YEARS so I was not a newbie, I knew laying habits for that time of year. But I STILL got harrassed & ridiculed, along with many other commenters that reported the same thing. It beat all I had ever seen
I found out that Mike Adams, Health Ranger with Natural News & Brighteon platform had heard about it and had gotten 6 different kinds of TSC feed and was testing them all in his own independent lab. He reported this on Jan 28th. I have seen one report where he found higher than normal levels of glysophate (Roundup) in the Producers Pride feed. He did other tests for mold & other nutritive analysis but he has yet to submit his findings as he has been on top of covering the catastrophic even in Ohio with the chemical spill. So I check his Telegram Channel EVERY DAY to see if he’s released his findings and as of today, still nothing but he has stated he was done with the testing in another video yesterday & was getting ready to release the results. So much EVIL is happening in this country right now I don’t know what to think anymore. And as you said, what better way to cover up a deliberate act of WHATEVER they put in the feed that to have it happen when chickens normally slow down or stop laying for the winter.
I hope we know something soon so we can all put this mess to rest and go on about our lives.
I believe there may have been different levels of whatever was put in the feed because some people changed feed and were even feeding their chickens cat food & goat feed and they started back laying within a few days. Mine STILL have not started laying and I’ve had mine on GAME BIRD FEED (HIGH protein levels) along with feeding extra protein, table scraps, greens & other things but NOTHING, not one egg. There are still others that had not started laying, like mine so it will be interesting to know what is going on. I did buy 15 new chicks last week, JUST IN CASE mine are forever sterile from laying. I heard they were getting ready to stop businesses from selling chicks and no transporting them across state lines…like those that buy from online hatcheries. If mine do start back laying I had intended to get out my incubators and start incubating eggs to have more chicks for myself and for others that need them for eggs once they grow up. I had to pay almost $5 each for the chicks last week when I only paid $2 for them last spring. I was at the feed/seed store 30 min after the chicks were delivered and there may have been 20 left when I bought mine out of a 300 chick order they received. PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP!! -
Yeah, I track with Mike Adams, he is not always right, but often he reports things that connects the dots. It has got me to thinking about that value of stock piles, as say a chemical event happens, having a stock pile of food that is chemical free could be life saving. As I recall from Joel Salitan, he kept 2 years ahead for hay for his animals…. I imagine having that kind of stockpile has made the difference in making $, and not making $.

I have followed Mike Adams for years and I’m subscribed to his emails & his Telegram Channel. I agree with you that he is not always right with some of his perceptions of situations but he can sure make you think or go down that rabbit hole a bit deeper. He is exceptionally smart with analyzing food, water & other products with his personal lab. His bio is impressive but I’m not particularly fond of some of the people he relies on for some of his info or that he confides in. Alex Jones is one of the ones he mentions a lot in his podcasts and I just don’t know about that man. I’ve heard a few of his podcasts thru the YEARS and he has been literally off the charts CRAZY with some of his “OPINIONS/THEORIES”. I guess he is the type that puts the label conspiracy theorist on a lot of people which creates problems for those of us that have FACTS to back up what we say or theorize. But then again, some of the things he reported YEARS ago about Bohemian Grove (in Monte Rio, CA, NW of San Francisco where the Global ELITE, Politicians, affluent businessmen, and past Presidents go for 2 weeks in July each year for MEN’S ONLY adult activities & satanic rituals & sacrifices). I remember a video he took when he snuck into this place and HORRORS at what he recorded that was being done!! YEARS LATER it is proven that this place does exist and does practice all things satanic. Regardless, I don’t chase the loons that try to provoke fear in the masses but those that have facts to prove their findings/theories. These days you need a TON of discernment to know WHO OR WHAT TO BELIEVE anymore. Satan is the father of all lies and the great deceiver and can come in many forms…like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I may be wrong about Alex Jones, but something just doesn’t sit right with me about him.
About our stock piles of untainted food…I have had feelings that a lot of the storebought meat I have canned may actually be tainted. I was doing a weekend canning marathon last year when the thought came to me very strong HOW DO I KNOW THIS MEAT ISN’T TAINTED or hasn’t been tampered with? With all that I know and studied/researched, I’m beginning to wonder. Yes, I have my homegrown meats as well as deer & hog that I’ve hunted & processed but is ANY OF IT SAFE?? Are any of the veggies we grow safe to consume? It is watered by chemtrail tainted rain & who knows what is in the chemtrails these days.
All I can do is put my faith & trust in GOD that he will protect me from all harm or take me home to be with him.
