This is why I don’t take free horse manure until I have tested it for grazon / herbicides.. I don’t have a steady supply of wood chips my friend does and his plants do wonderful. But yeah if you know they spray don’t use. But ours come from trees touching power lines high up in the air.

Better to give them 4 years to break down then use them. or do it in about 1 year by using the wood chips in your chicken run. Chickens + wood chips = garden gold.

I did kill an orange tree by putting too much wood chips at the base of it. A bit of breathing room for the roots does wonders. like 1 -2 feet from base.

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.

MemberJanuary 29, 2023 at 10:06 pm in reply to: Chicken Feed stop laying… another confirmation.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.

So, this is not newbies who are reporting these problems it is people who know what their birds do.

I do like Azure Standard for a feed source.

But I have had confirmation on my MeWe Christian group that this happened to someone there, and on Popular preparedness video on youtube, multiple comments there. So, too many data points for me to believe this is just made up. The reason why the feed is causing chickens not to lay I don’t know. But there are too many data points there for me to think it is not a problem.
