So they could raise the prices in the stores? A lot of city folks were even getting their eggs from farmers, and when farmers don't have enough even for their own family let alone selling whatever they don't need , they waited a bit. Then people started figuring out what was going on. ?? Our township wanted to even stop people from having hens. Already can't have roosters. But folks nipped that in the bud! I hope Pearl is getting better! 🙏🙏❤️❤️. Take care and God bless always

@@iamKristyEscue Dumor is made by Cargill if I remember correctly so if that is the case there is a issue with an ingredient that both manufactures (Cargill and Purina) are using in their feed. Many have corn so could be the first thing I would look at to see if some of these are the cause (aflatoxin, acidosis, mycotoxins, etc). Second guess would be imported ingredient from china, they are known for tainted feed ingredients in the past (baby food, pet food, etc).

I can vouch for this as it happened to me. A fellow chicken keeper told me she was hearing that this was happening to people who fed any Purina brand feed or any feed from Purina subsidiaries. I thought I was safe because I didn’t use any of those brands of feed. Then one day my very young hens completely quit laying so I investigated and discovered my family members had bought a Purina flock block for my chickens without me knowing. I removed those two blocks and my hens started laying again. I hope this helps someone.

This happened to me and my neighbors chickens. We switched and made our own feed with seeds not pellets and added fruit and veggies as well as table scraps. They are laying again and laying a lot of eggs. BTW I saw another homesteaders message from a friend of his that is Amish. The Amish gentleman said we do not buy commercial feed our chickens get table scraps and free range only and we have no problems. He also said the English (Us) have been trained that our chickens need the feed and we tend to feed too much. I’m guilty of that. Leaving too much in the feeder and then it gets wasted all over the floor. I’m going to be more careful from now on and listen to the Amish man. 😅

My chickens won't eat table scraps! I think they'll eat leftover meat, but that goes to dogs & cats. Most fruit goes to an alpaca. But even when I give the chickens blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, they mostly ignore. Only one is a watermelonholic. They'll eat grapes, but only if I cut them up tiny. Spoiled. :/ They only like Walmart white bread, don't eat that anymore either. Not free range, soil bad, no worms. God knows what they live on because they hardly eat what I put out. They don't even eat the TSC dry grains for 2mths now, only when I soak them. I just realized the wild birds have been eating their feed, so maybe they're not reproducing either. Well, it's all going next wk. I hope I catch the Health Ranger's video.

🐔🐔🐔🐔I am a back yard chicken guy with 24 chickens and can tell you this is TRUE! For 4 years I've used TS Feed with great results! 4 months ago I noticed a serious drop in Egg production form my girls! Yes, winter comes and there are normally a slight reduction. "I'm in central AZ, so not too cold". It was really baffling me, went from 12-16 eggs a day down to just 4-6 eggs a day! Then I heard the report on TS Feed, I went to my local feed store and bought PURINA brand and switched feed, eggs came back up to 11-13 eggs daily which is normal! Had one bag of TS Feed Pride brand left and switched BACK when the Purina ran out, two days later, only 4 eggs that day! I can verify that this report IS TRUE! No more Tractor Supply!

I got pregnant and quite sick (I have 3 other kids 6 and under). I couldn't keep up with my chicken chores. Our Girls suddenly had to be locked up. They completely stopped laying for months. I blamed myself. I blamed trauma from the dog. We were buying feed and really expensive eggs and I lost all of my egg customers! I GAVE AWAY MY WHOLE FLOCK!

My wife & I buy whole grains in bulk, store in separate bins/containers until ready for mixing. My wife came up with a good protein carb mix (winter or summer mix) doing research on the internet. Our hens lay throughout winter every year we've been raising them (20-40 chickens). We don't light up the henhouses with big lights either only using night lights for them to see at dusk to perch only. I like seeing the actual grains we feed them & not trusting someone else to say on the ingredients what's in the bag, not saying pellets are bad, just our choice, of course. We also mix diatomaceous earth in with the grains for help deworming. Hope this helps.

I have considered mixing my own feed for a while now. I used to be able to sell my fresh eggs for five dollars a dozen and I delivered them to people. But after losing a bunch of hens, I didn’t have enough eggs for family let alone to sell. So having to start off buying five or six different types of feed to mix them up, has been cost prohibitive right now. I am down to four girls after losing the rest of my 16! I had to move the girls a couple years ago and two of them died over the winter because the new metal barn was not warm for them at all. Then this past summer I lost 10 of my hens to some foxes! When I had my full amount of girls, I would get one egg every three or four days through the whole winter from each of the girls. I am sure only having four vs 16 has made a difference. But I have not had one single solitary egg laid by them since December 3rd!!! I am so annoyed by this, because I am currently paying out a few more dollars for Kalmbach chicken feed. Still no eggs. I also have used Farm & Fleet‘s brand as well as Rural King‘s brand throughout this winter. Like I stated, not one darn egg from anyone no matter what feed they are on.😤😤😭😭

Let your chickens continue to free range if possible. If you know any organic farmers try to buy corn and crack it for them. Your chickens will have an almost orange yolk it will be so rich and more tasty. Also I learned from a County Sheep meeting this week that the FDA is not going to let farm stores sell basic medicines or antibiotics (like penicillin, oxytocin) after mid June. This was confirmed by the vet who was guest speaker. She said you'll have to get it all from the vet and the vet will have had to be on the farm at least once in a 12 months period. So bottom line establish a vet relationship. She also reiterated it was out of their control and even they had trouble getting penicillin right after it was announced. Not sure how we can stop more government overreach but here it is again.

Going back to the days the only first aid for livestock was liniment, bag balm, gentian violet, coal tar, sugar wraps (still used by some vets) and mustard plasters... maybe some flowers of sulphur if you can find it, oh and don't forget styptic powder, there's your old timey critter first aid kit.

This year was the first time my chickens quit laying, we were lucky to get 1 egg a day from 24 chickens. Thought is was because they just finished molting and then it became very cold. The last 2 weeks they have been back to normal, but our neighbor brought us some chicken feed to repay my husband for plowing, he bought a different brand so I’m going with the feed theory. I think this feed issue was planned! Thanks for the information Dutch.

How interesting, we’re in the UK 🇬🇧 and we had the SAME issue. Along with friends who keep chickens. A couple of My chickens began to get sickly during the time they stopped laying eggs. So I stopped giving my chickens the layers pellets that they were on and gave them grains,sunflower seeds, lentils, mealworms, corn while I looked for another brand for pellets. And would you believe it, my hens started laying again within a 2 days during the coldest snap we had in the UK for a long time (mid December 2022) -6 degrees Celsius (21.2 degrees fahrenheit) lots of snow on the ground too! I did the switch before even knowing there was something wrong with the feed. Didn’t realise that everyone was experiencing the same. I’m suspicious of certain things since the last 2 years has come and gone.

This was my experience and it had nothing to do with winter molting. I got my first six hens about two-and-a-half years ago. I started off feeding a brand from Walmart. Once they started laying, I was getting 4-6 eggs a day. Mind you, two of my hens are silky's which only lay 2-4 eggs a week. Over time, it became increasingly difficult to get what I was getting from Walmart because they were out of stock more often than not and finally settled on producers pride at TSC, sometimes DuMor. I made that switch early spring last year. For the rest of spring, the entirety of Summer, and moving into fall, I was only getting 1-3 eggs a day. At this point I had added two more hens so, now I have 8. Early fall, TSC was out of both of the brand's I had been buying, Producers Pride and, occasionally, DuMor so, I paid a little more for an organic brand, the name of which I don't recall at the moment. Literally within just a couple of days I went from getting 1-3 eggs a day to 5-8 a day and have remained consistent with that throughout fall and winter, even in temperatures below freezing.

The reason that your production spiked was the food. Layer need more than just that 16% pellets. They need a higher ratio of nutrition. When you took them to a higher grain amount they increased production. The pellet is a base feed, it's not the only source feed. If that sac of 16% is the only thing people are using, then 🙄 wow... yeah. There's the conspiracies right there. That's meant to be a base for their dietary needs. It's not the only feed they are to get. Changing the base feed formulary shouldn't effect production if they are getting a well balanced diet.

We were using Producer's Pride. Our girls stopped laying in September. The did not molt. The whole flock is about a year old now. We tried everything to get them to lay. The first of December, I went to our local feed store to check the prices of their feed. Kalmbach 16% cost less so I bought it. Six days later they started laying. The days were not getting longer at the beginning of December. They even laid 10-11 eggs per day during the crazy cold at Christmas when they were locked in the barn for 3-4 days. We do have a single light bulb in the barn because the barn has no windows at all. It's a small barn, not a coop. It's completely dark in there when the doors are shut. Well, except for the little chicken door.

FYI: I have never bought Producers Pride at Tractor Supply (TS). What I was feeding my hens from TS, starting in late Spring of 2022 was a combo of Dumor Non GMO pellets and Purina or Natures Best Organic Chicken Scratch one month and the next month an Organic pellet w the scratch listed above. My egg production diminished so much that I had to buy my first dozen eggs in late summer 2022, I thought it was the heatwave in TX, but I had not bought eggs since 2011 and it is always hot here in the summer. Mid Jan 2023, lost 2 hens w symptoms of swollen bellies while getting 2-3 eggs/day with a flock of 15 hens. Then last week I hear about this issue w TS, I switched feed and w/in 5 days my girls are producing again. So, it is NOT just Producers Pride, TS has permanently lost me as a customer. I also learned that our benevolent 'friends' at Blackrock are owners of >10% shares of TS. Coincidence? Think Not!

Happened to me. I usually buy the cheapest feed that is readily available, which happens to be Producers Pride at my current location. My small flock basically stopped laying during the winter, which I assumed was due to the weather. One hen seemed unhealthy a few weeks ago; in an effort to help her get well, I switched to DuMOR and added an electrolyte supplement to their water. Within days, egg production significantly increased and the hen quickly got well. I'm not sure if I'm ready to point the finger at Producers Pride, but results are results.. They're laying better than ever now.

It's unusual that food quality can impede the natural egg production cycle ( in so far as how climate, exercise and sunlight will influence this). It's almost like the food is lacking nutrient triggers or even blocking the normal egg production hormones. This is shocking, and I hope researchers study this to understand why. Is it something missing (malnutrition), or was something contaminated in the recent batches of food?

In Iowa, many hatcheries got hit hard by the bird flu, all their stock destroyed, they took what eggs they had on hand filled some if the immediate orders and hatched the rest out to replenish their own breeding stock, guess what, when those hens were about to start laying again and they got hit again by the bird flu and lost thousands of birds. Many of them had rare/endangered breeds too yet. The midwest state (texas up to North Dakota over to Minnesota and all the way down south is a major migratory bird route that is used to go north in spring and south in fall, Bird flu is carried mostly by waterfowl is what we were told here and how to protect our back yard flocks (impossible for me to do) but I have seen it all around but we have not been affected at all yet nor have a couple of neighbors who also have chickens. Most do not realize that chickens molt (shed their old feathers and replace with new) every year, when they molt they stop laying also. So I wonder how many are confusing an issue with a feed vrs not realizing their chickens are molting (one here blew all her feathers at once in Dec, the other two did it slowly over a 2 month period - yep no eggs for 3 months).

Couldn't figure out what was happening in January I changed to the stillwater milled feeds and the super scratch from the Macalester milled feeds with in a week my girls went from zero egg production to 18 eggs a day. It was the feed that caused them to stop laying. That was the only thing that changed for me. I refuse to ever switch back. My feed bill has gone up but I'm fine with that because I'm supporting the farmers here in Oklahoma now which is a win win in my book.

We have been noticing this for at least the last 5 years. We had been using Dumor 5 years ago (Dumor and Producers Pride are made by Purina, which I recently heard Bill Gates has his hands into) our hens stopped laying during peak laying season. No eggs. Asked around in our 4H circles, tried those friend's suggestions, no luck. The feed store was out of Dumor so we switched feed simply due to what was in stock and the hens 'magically' started laying again. Heard buzz at the feed store from other shoppers at the time that they had the same problem, when we asked what feed they used, it was Dumor. We mostly have been using Producers Pride since with no problems. We actually use PP now, but mix in kitchen scraps, free range, various seeds, game bird (we also have ducks, guineas and quail). So our chickens are still laying what we would consider normal for winter...

This is why deregulating is bad if you don't have people inspecting these companies they will just give CEOs profit and don't care if they are mixing contaminated feed! I'm more inclined to think that the chemicals sprayed on the plants or a fungal problem like horses who can actually abort by being fed contaminated feed!

My mom has 47 hens and has only gotten 7 eggs in the last 2 1/2 months. The problem is the only feed store that is close is tractor supply. She is retired and has very minimal income and so she depends on the eggs to sell for a small income. This video was very informative. I'm hoping that i can find a DIY food mix that i can show her how to make

I use a different brand Called Blue Seal, but having the typical winter slow down. They quit for a while during their molting, but are back to winter laying amounts. I don't use artificial light and chose hens known to lay over winter since I live in the northeast. Snow on ground now, so no free ranging, but I do throw in mixed greens, whole kernal corn (to help keep their body heat during the winter) and mealworm treats with their grain scratch. Because they're confined to the coop and run during snow, I give them crumble to keep them busy scratching so they don't get bored. When we have a melt and grass shows I let them out to forage.

I have a homestead and we raise most of our own food. close to 90 percent. I also sell at farmers markets. my chickens are free range and organically raised. We increase protein by raising meal worms. we never use laying pellets because we don't have to. we sell our eggs locally for $2.50 a dozen and don't care what the market prices are. the eggs cost us virtually nothing, so we sell them for less. it is always a good idea for people to get to know and support their local farmers. it's just better food for better prices and you always know what you are getting.

We have always used it and normally ours lay all the time in the winter (we don't generally get lower the 30 at night) and even in the summer (up to 120°+) but the last few months they haven't been laying like at all. So I'm experimenting bought Walmart this time for a couple months to see if it's that.

Mine stopped laying since November, saw Doug and Stacy and went for seed/grain today. I noticed the smell was off because I normally use a more expensive brand but chose to switch to TC in October because they were $12.99 a bag vs my $27. Usually they are $16.99. Learning the lesson.

Just a follow up comment. People seem to be getting angry at Tractor Supply but shouldn't the attention really be on Purina? Isn't Purina the one who makes this feed and Tractor Supply is just a distributor? Someone correct me if I am wrong but I doubt Tractor Supply really has anything to do with the production of this product. This is like getting mad at Walmart because your Tide Laundry Detergent doesn't clean your clothes anymore. Right?

Been feeding Dumor for years, got a couple dozen hens, and rotate new pullets in every year. Chickens slow down every winter, because light and heat, and pickup again when it warms up.

I know you have a freeze dryer - freeze dry your extra eggs. I did this last summer and am so thankful I did. I use the eggs for every that I would an egg in the shell with the exception of hard boiled or over easy. 2 tablespoons of dried egg and 2 tablespoons of water equals one egg.
