I was feeding laying pellets sold by a company "Keystone". My hens stopped laying. Went to a local mill and bought their laying mash. I had one egg the next day. Within 9 days, I was getting two dozen a week. I am a tinfoil hat person at this point. Thanks, Doug, for staying on top of the problem.
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 Keystone Wood Pellet brand was manufactured by the New England Wood Pellet Company, the oldest and largest pellet manufacturer in the Northeastern United States. Today, Keystone pellets are still made in the same Pennsylvania-based facility with a great deal of pride in quality & craftsmanship.
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has a lab where he does testing on food products. He said that he plans on testing the chicken feed from TS to see if there is anything to the stories going around. I look forward to seeing his report.
I look forward to his report as well. I was checking out the TS online for their prices and shipping, etc. UNTIL I learned from Doug about their exposing children to the Drag Queen story time hosting. I'm Done! Thank You Doug for keeping us informed about this and all the other crazy things going on in our world today. You and Stacy are both doing your best to give your listeners advice to actually help them in their journey from whatever point they're starting from.
Several chicken farmers I know in Louisiana have switched from Tractor Supply feed to other feed mainly because their chickens were losing weight. After changing feed and suppliers, the chickens actually started gaining their weight back.
The meat, egg and dairy industry doesn't want people to have their own food source. If people have their own food source they do not have to depend on big industries and pay their fixed prices.
Doug thank you. Im a small poultry farmer. Im not new at it however the things are changing. Thank you for teaching me to make chicken feed ❤ love y’all. From a small Missouri farmer
We started giving our chickens left over whey from cheese making and also being very diligent about utilizing all food scraps, and our chickens are laying like champs!
My daughter bought Tractor Supply Chicken an after a short time their Chickens didn't lay. They switched to Feed Mill Feed and they started producing. Lv and Prayers to all.
Just ordered more chicks today from a small family Hatchery. I no longer shop TSC. I get my feed from my Amish neighbors as well as other supplies. Thanks for the heads up Doug! YHVH bless you & Stacy for sharing with us!
We buy eggs from a local farmer because our dogs don’t seem to get along with chickens 😅. And I’m proud to help him with his farm! I appreciate your videos helping the smaller homesteads.
We humans also need to rethink about the processed food so many of us eat. Thanks Doug & Stacy for the great informative and entertaining education you provide.
I raise my own chickens and buy my feed from a local feed store. I don't shop at Tractor Supply and glad that I don't. I get about 18 eggs a day and give away more than I sell. GOD bless you and Stacy for all that ya do for those who are smart enough to listen and take it in.
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 see a lot of TH-camrs complaining about the chickens not laying at all, now I see why. I’m glad your speaking out because you have a big following and it’s getting more people awakened, (thanks for that) because that’s what this world needs RIGHT now! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you Doug and Stacy. I've been hearing bits and pieces of this suspect feed. I have raised chickens for 30 years and have always included sunflower seeds, oats, cracked corn and lots of free range. Be safe everyone and God Bless.
I don't have chickens but for anyone who does, this is great information. How fortunate we are to have people out there like you who genuinely cares about all the crap that's happening and share the info with us.
Brewing? This has been under way for over 100 years. It's just getting ready to finally and completely come to fruition. This is just the tip of the iceberg... the entrance to the rabbit hole. It goes very far and wide with many entities involved. 2021 was only a test. Grab your ankles sweetie because you ain't seen anything yet.
This is our 3rd yr with chickens. 15 chickens and we were hardly getting enough eggs for daily use. I heard you talking about chicken feed being altered. We went to an Amish store and got a bag of pellets and mixed grains. After 2 weeks, we are getting 4-8 eggs daily! So glad I switched brands! Thanks, Doug for putting us on to this! And the shells are harder!

Hey Doug, Mike Adams says he is going to buy different chicken feed at TS and do mass spec analysis on the feeds to see if this is true. Thanks for doing what you do!
@@kittyrichards9915 he is a prepper guy and a self made scientist. He owns his own lab and does testing on food for contaminants and toxins and also runs natural news and brighteon and puts out a TON of information for free on his websites
That's awesome! Cause you know if Mike says hes gonna do something hes definitely going to do it. He has chickens as well and I know hes probably just as concerned as anyone else. And you know hes going to put his results in the Podcast. And if anyone doesn't know it's called the health ranger on rumble.
I have 7 chickens that are less than a year old. I just bought chickens because of you both. And it has been a amazing venture for us, thank you. Thank you for keeping us informed of the devils of this world. Keep up the great work.
I started growing sorghum, sunflowers, and oats last year. I hope to help supply feed in exchange for meat and eggs later on when it becomes necessary. 👍
This explains why my hens were not laying anything for the past 6 months. I thought it was something I was doing wrong. Low and behold, my hens have started laying again in the past two weeks (I’ve gotten two dozen from 6 hens) when I changed their feed. I’m changing it again to making my own feed now thanks to Doug and Stacy!
If you don't mind telling me, what type of feed were you using before and what did you change to? We just purchased 50 pounds of Purina brand, but haven't used it yet, and I'm not sure if we should return it or attempt to use it.
I heard that my township is not allowing people to have chickens, so I posted to see if that is true or not, and I also posted your video about protesting against towns not allowing chickens. I also shared the heck out of it to all the people that I know that want to have chickens or start a farm. Thank you and God bless you both 🙏
@@mistersniffer6838 ha! His older chickens have slowed down producing, but the young ones are doing great. However, he does let them free range for several hours a day. They could be getting their protein that way. He doesn’t buy his feed exclusively from TS either. He shops around, but bought some from TS yesterday. I’ve warned him, nonetheless.
Does this man really want to help us or is he just trying to make a market for his own TH-cam so he can get the money he needs or is he helping us it don't sound like it he talks too much and don't really tell us much that we already know
I feel that the community of homesteaders is going to have to come together to get through all this by helping each other out and coming up with their own systems
And those of us who cannot due to health and or age cannot, can still be part of the solution by buying as much as possible from homesteaders who have some of their production for sale. Been trying to find as much locally produced products as possible with eggs and wheat berries difficult to find in my area of Western NY.
I've been using that exact feed for over a year. Since Halloween I've had a huge drop in production. Last month TSC was out so I bought a bag of premium feed and production started going up. I thought it was a coincidence so now after going back to TSC it has gone to ZERO! Thanks for the info. Gonna search local feed stores.
Thanks, Doug. After 20+ years of raising chickens, I got rid of the last of my chickens a year ago. They were not laying for months! They were no longer an asset to us. Fed them Producer's Pride for a long while. After they were rehomed, they started laying again. This info makes sense. Thanks for sharing great information.
As a country kid I love having these reminders. My husband is a city boy, who would like to start small with chickens. I send him every video. He drives truck for a living. After being over the road for 18 years he's now a local delivery for 5 yrs now. He delivers to a lot of rural northern Nevada. I'm priming him to go back up to mountain where we met and married. Where life was simpler and more enjoyable.
@Tyleen Haley #Tyleen Haley I’d love to ask, do y’all have young kids in public school? Convincing older public school raised kids is near to impossible 😮 I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers Marylouise 13:02
My chickens were victims of the TSC feed. They completely stopped laying. I changed feed after I heard what TSC feed was causing. I feed 1 1/2 sacks of local chicken feed before they started laying again. I am happy to say my hens are back to normal.
I wonder if there are/will be long-term health effects on the hens. Damn sad and wrong! Basically criminal. I have been questioning our cat food. Our male cat requires UR vet prescribed diet and of course an added cost. Honestly I think it is tofu! Grrr how do we test it?
Shhhhh, there going to investigate your intentions and dont forget what happened to those Jan 6 guys you could be in there in a jail sell right beside them for being vigilant about eggs ....... trouble maker ! Lol 😆
I love the video where you and Stacy breakdown how to create your own chicken feed in order to meet the protein percentage that laying hens need. Thank you for putting information in backyard homesteaders hands.
This is our first year with chickens (5 hens) and it has been a blessing. We are in a neighborhood and hoping they don't get stolen with the prices of chicken and eggs going up.
I don't have chickens, don't have a farm and don't have a hubby who would be interested in either, but I love your channel because you and Stacy are genuine people. That is something lacking in today's society and I dearly appreciate it.
God is missing from Society and without the creator and His law's we as a society are doomed. Sorry you're husband is not interested because that's what we are going too and if you don't get ready to produce our own food because the store's will be very limited on what you can buy. Please get ready it's coming fast..
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY Been there with the chickens, sold eggs for 10cts a dozen in the 60s,, and can milk to kraft before they quit buy ing can milk,,, Missouri is not the state it used to be to much gov control.. I left after 60 years moved to az best thing i ever did,,You two have good day stay warm,,
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY You might check with your local MFA they grind and mix there own feed, i always had good luck with them,, I dont know if there non gmo,,,
Hey Doug and Stacy, I did not realize what was happening with my chickens, they have always given a few eggs throughout winter but not this year, after seeing a video I went elsewhere for feed, I'm up to four to twelve eggs per day 🙏 sending prayers to all that have ears to hear 🙏 keep up the good work 🙏
You guys are such a blessing. My son has chickens and other livestock so I’ve gotten to watch him bring them up. TS is right by my house. After the drag Queen sponsorship and learning who they’ve been doing business with I no longer shop there and this morning will be hitting them up on social media, and writing corporate. I’m SO tired of corporations going woke and simply folding to the WEF’s ESG. Didn’t go well for China did it…no conspiracies, no tin foil hat! Thank you guys for fighting the good fight and teaching us newbies :)
Bless you, Doug and Stacy. I’m nowhere near the point of raising chickens, but I’m so happy that the farmers have people like you looking after us. Happy abundant healthy life to you and your family!
If Tractor supply is owned by the big 2, Blackrock and Vanguard, then yes they are part of the plot to break down the backyard farmer! I love the way you bring the information forward. Gives people who don't know what's going on a chance to settle into it. A lot of people aren't ready to hear it.
YOUR GOVERNOR CAN BLOCK BLACK ROCK'S INVOLVEMENT IN YOUR STATE ECONOMY. I believe your county Sheriff can block them too. I believe WV banned Black Rock's involvement with their state funds.

Congrats on hitting 1 million subscribers! This video showed up exactly when I needed it. Just ordered my first 15 chicks to be delivered in April! I'll be starting on the coop and the brooder next month. Also planting 20+ fruit trees, blue berries and grapes. Everything is so new to me! Thank the good Lord for people like you that teach and encourage us! Much love Doug and Stacy.
I love hearing that you do your own research and you know the real deal! Many people are afraid to speak so directly about these issues so thank you for discussing these topics! Thanks for the chicken feed recipe! We don't have chickens yet but hope to soon! 🤗🥰
You guys are great for sharing this. I've been thinking about raising chickens and the more stuff I can learn the better. I'm 60 yrs old and never imagined our country would have anything like this going on.... Very crazy people out there. Stay safe.
Go for it. I'm 64 and grew up with chickens. I got some of my own in my 30s but I guess just too many irons in the fire for me at that time. 10 years ago I built me a little chicken house and lot out of scrap lumber and wire. I've been keeping 8-10 hens and a rooster ever since. Nobody wanted to give me $2 a dozen for fresh eggs a year ago. Now my phone rings every day and my answer is I'm sorry. I need all my eggs now! And I truly enjoy the hobby as well!
Thank you for sharing this Doug. Congratulations to you and Stacy on over one million subscribers. You folks rock.God bless and love you cause we do to.
Ann's tiny homestead is another I follow. She has chickens and she's been fermenting food for her chickens to help. She's noticed the same thing with the feed not as nutritious. But fermenting she's getting them what they need. So cool. I like how ya'll are so observant. Taking care on your livestock the right way takes care of you and yours. These big stores don't give a hoot about us or the animals. All they are worried about is lining their pockets 🤷♀️. Sorry but that's my opinion. Thanks for the information! Hope you and Stacy have a Blessed Day!
We have been making our own chicken feed for a couple of years now since we watched Stacy’s video on it. Our hens love it and still lay in the winter. They are much healthier with it too.
Our ladies also stopped over the last few months! But we were getting a really good organic feed from a local farm. After months of no eggs we actually switched about a month ago to organic tractor supply feed bc we thought something was wrong with our feed. They just started laying again! I’m so confused about this world! So weird. Thanks for being a beacon of light, guys 😊
The trick of sorting good feed from bad, is that the bad feed will not absorb water poured on it, If none of your chicken feed is good, you can use goat feed
It would be normal for your birds to stop laying the last few months and just now start laying. It depends on the individual hen but on average they stop laying when the days tip under 12 hours long and start laying again when they tip over 12 hours. They are light activated. Some folks even put lights on their birds through the winter so they don't stop laying. I found that hard on the birds and disruptive to their natural cycle. If you were using organic feed from a local farm I'd be tempted to see if they would tell you what ingredients they use and where they source them. Watch out for GMO's even in organic!
@@MyBearhugger I totally agree. Those of you that don’t give your poor little chickens a rest, I suggest you pump up their protein, with flock raiser. Year round laying will definitely take its toll. Let your chickens rest! Buy new chickens every year or breed every year, the younger ones will lay through the winter. The old ladies will rest.
Not true...220 a year egg breeds slow down,...280 a year egg breeds barely slow down, then there's the 300 a years breeds who hardly skip a beat...these are averages for certain breeds ..now if you have ornamentals or exotics, you'll average 150 eggs or less, but Rhode island reds and white leghorns are going to produce SOMETHING weekly...I have NEVER had all he s stop...I haven't gotten an egg out of my 14 hens SInce October! And 3 are 280 layers, 8 are 220 to 240 layers and ones a wellsomer. and yes, some breeds stop....but you're giving out disinformation. I've suspected the feed SI ce late November because the stoppage is so COMPLETE.
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!!
Hi Doug!! Greetings from Finland! We have about 10 henns and they stopped laying eggs at the beginning of September. At that point we had commercial chicken feed. We switched to homemade mix in October. They started laying eggs on Christmas again. That was a 4 month gap without ANY own eggs!!!
Mounting feathers in the winter, give chicken’s time to regrow new feathers, just like humans regrow new skin. Chickens use their food source for this at this time of year to make it through the winter, for them growing feathers are more important than laying eggs
I've raised chickens all my life. I know what I'm doing. I wasn't getting eggs for a long time using the current blend of Pride chicken food from TS and so I switched to a different brand that had black sunflower seeds in it and a bunch of other good stuff and they've started laying again. 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. Not to mention that feed has almost doubled in price in my area (Pecos NM). We gotta stay on our toes and stay self reliant.
Thank you, Doug and Stacy, for keeping us informed. Please don’t ever let naysayers get you down, because your videos are priceless to us! We love y’all ❤️❤️
I'm sure you've been told, how much of a blessing you guys are to all that will listen, but I'm gonna say it again! Thank you guys. May God continue to bless you so you can continue to bless others.
God bless you for educating us newbies on this chicken food tainting cause they don't want us to be self reliant but on our knees begging for hand outs .
Doug, I appreciate your candor and diligence to not jump on every little topic to discuss. You guys have become a great source of information For me as we are trying to get a small Homestead established soon. Thank you so much
I’m so glad that you keep us all updated on these things. These dang people are ruthless lunatics trying to slowly take us out. If it’s causing less egg production is it actually harming the hens too long term? Tainting meat? Thanks for all y’all do and being great folks! We have to stick together to fight the evils of this world as we know it.
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?
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 .
I have worried about stuff like this from the beginning of GMO, anytime you start messing with what our Creator has given us you are going to mess up alot of stuff. This is why I like to learn the old ways. It was good enough for my great-grand parents, so it must be good enough for me to learn! Thanks for all you do on this channel in sharing your thoughts and knowledge with others.
The "authorities" see you and me as "useless eaters" and "oxygen thieves". They want us to die off. United Nations documents regarding this go back a long way.
It’s hard to keep up with the evils of today, but thank God for people like Doug & Stacy who care to share what they know! Keep your eyes and ears open everybody.
The sun goes down at 430 in December and January. We were only getting 3 eggs out of 10 chickens. Got a pink UV light, used for 3 hours after sundown. We now get 7-9 a day
I’m glad it’s coming to light. I noticed my girls lay just fine when they free range and have kitchen scraps. I was using producers pride and didn’t even put two and two together. We switched and they’re laying more frequently.
I pray YT doesn't take you down because of all the information you give us. You and Stacy are so great to bring it to us. Thank you for all you do to make my homestead better.
@@waitz001 Well, Jenni, I started watching him during the pandemic when we (daughters and us) started seriously talking about getting a homestead together. We all sold our big houses in the city and took the plunge. We ended up finding a mother/daughter in the mountains about an hour out of the city. I have been soaking up everything I can watch about homesteading, gardening, cooking from scratch etc. ever since. I was fascinated with watching him build his mother's house. I love watching Stacy cook and talk about herbs and getting healthy. We are pretty much on a mountaintop with woods all around so I have also learned so much from the "wood lot" videos. I could go on and on, lol. We have 3 generations living here together and I love teaching my grandchildren the old ways.
"They" are out to hurt humans and animals. They have manipulated and sabatoged EVERYTHING meant for good. We need more educators, like you and Stacy, continually teaching us and WARNING us. You are helping us have a change of mind about so many things. Thank you!!💛
Farmers need to start getting together there's strength in numbers and tune into guys like this cuz he's very and start making your own feed and have healthy birds
I haven't found this to be true at all. Spent a wad of money on various seeds, grains, etc, and tried making my own feed. My chickens only ate part of the feed, kicking the rest onto the ground. Huge waste. The parts they ate wasn't enough nutrients so they took forever to refeather after a molt, and it led to lost weight. I get a 40lb bag of layer pellets from Rural King for $20 vs the over $100 I spent on 40 and 50lb bags of feed components. The layer feed lasts longer with less wastage, in my experience. I tried it but am back to good feed. My chickens feathered out faster and some have started laying again. As a note, my chickens ignored most of the homemade feed components, favoring wheat berries and black sunflower seeds. All the rest was waste.
@@BooDamnHoo did you try Fermenting the homemade recipe so it's not so easy to kick out? This is my concern too because I've got food scattered everywhere even with prepackaged feed.
Not only did I experience this myself, I also had several die due to egg binding related issues on their feed. Switched to Family Farm and Home feed and I'm getting 9 eggs a day in winter with 11 chickens. No more health issues.
Thank you Doug & Stacy for keeping us informed as much as you do. Very few people care as much for us out here like you guys...much love and blessings to you always...
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!
Such important news. I shared the chicken feed info with my family, and hopefully with everyone listening to your channel it will spread like wildfire. This is why we must band together to share what's not being talked about on the mainstream media. Thank you so much for continuing to keep us informed.
I appreciate you letting us know what's going on. Even though so many of us are aware, it's hard to keep up. Thank you for all you and Stacy do. You are both loved!
Thanks Doug and Stacy for sharing this information. We are living in sad times but if we keep each other informed we will get thru with God's help! You are the best!!
I have a neighbor who has 10 chickens in her backyard. She was giving us eggs a few months ago because she had so many. All of a sudden, her chickens stopped laying eggs. All ten of them. She switched their food to goat feed and they started laying eggs again. She had been buying her chicken feed from tractor supply.
@@purefectyourskin She already switched to a new feed. She picked a feed that was close enough to what they needed just to see if it was their original food. We talk all the time because she’s right next door and I’m getting chickens now too. She’s my chicken sensei 😆
Feeding goat feed only to chickens is not a good idea. It doesn't have what they need. Also, which of the four brands of chicken feed from tractor supply was she using? They have different brands from different companies. Are you saying they're all in on it?
My mum used to have a metal can with handle she kept on the wood stove and cooked up all the vegetable scraps for the chickens and they loved it and laid plenty of eggs
Man, that feed looks good for anyone to eat 🤠. I remember growing up we had a Dog and two cats and we never fed them store bought animal food, they ate what we ate and they lived LONG LIVES 😊. MY Mom always cooked enough for All❤️
Thanks Uncle Doug, for the warning. I really appreciate you concern for us small farmers. We lived in Missouri for 3 years and and got our feed bulk from a gmo free farm. And we really enjoyed feeding it to our chickens. We recently were feeding our chickens with feed from tractor supply but now we're trying to find a different supplier! God bless
We (my wife and I) are new to the backyard chicken game. Thanks for sharing this info with us. We are already pretty sus over the Tractor Supply sponsoring child exploitation.... but we hadn't heard this about the feed issue yet. Thanks for getting the word out!
We've been buying at local small businesses for decades. Married 41yrs, doing what we can to opt out of the system living is suburbia. You've given us some great info through the years! Thanks for all you do 😁
It wouldn't surprise me that someone is tampering with the feed. There are those who don't want us to be able to produce our own food, as we know. Thank you for sharing your research with us, Doug.
Same here, my hens didn't lay hardly any eggs since September. I saw your video and changed feed and now starting to get a few eggs. Thanks for the information.
Here is the CHICKEN FEED WE MIX UP and how to do it! th-cam.com/video/HITumhzmD-Q/w-d-xo.html

Who knows what's going on anymore, it looks suspicious about tractor supply. I stopped shopping there a few years ago.
This will be so useful for when I get chickens! Hopefully this year! I'd much rather make my own food for them and KNOW what they are getting.
Congrats to you and Stacy on reaching one million subs!! Thank you for everything!
Wow...we are taking hits from all sides.
I was feeding laying pellets sold by a company "Keystone". My hens stopped laying. Went to a local mill and bought their laying mash. I had one egg the next day. Within 9 days, I was getting two dozen a week. I am a tinfoil hat person at this point. Thanks, Doug, for staying on top of the problem.
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.

Several chicken farmers I know in Louisiana have switched from Tractor Supply feed to other feed mainly because their chickens were losing weight. After changing feed and suppliers, the chickens actually started gaining their weight back.
The supply chain issue isn't a lie as much as it is a planned deliberate design. Thank you for waking people up!

Just ordered more chicks today from a small family Hatchery. I no longer shop TSC. I get my feed from my Amish neighbors as well as other supplies. Thanks for the heads up Doug!
YHVH bless you & Stacy for sharing with us!
Good morning Doug and Stacy, and everyone in the comments have a Blessed day!!!
We buy eggs from a local farmer because our dogs don’t seem to get along with chickens 😅. And I’m proud to help him with his farm! I appreciate your videos helping the smaller homesteads.
We humans also need to rethink about the processed food so many of us eat. Thanks Doug & Stacy for the great informative and entertaining education you provide.
People need to SHARE VALUABLE info like this on all your social media platforms.. so important!!
Totally agree with you on allowing birds their break from laying. They need and deserve it!
I raise my own chickens and buy my feed from a local feed store. I don't shop at Tractor Supply and glad that I don't. I get about 18 eggs a day and give away more than I sell. GOD bless you and Stacy for all that ya do for those who are smart enough to listen and take it in.
They just bought out a local feed stores here in MO 😠 😢
The baby chicks they sell are low-quality as well and the people there can't answer any questions they just point to a sign
Here here ✋🏽✋🏽🇨🇦 Amen
I personally feed fermented feed
What brand are you feeding...I feel bad for my hens ..something has to wrong if non are laying
Thank you for standing up for the hens 🐓 We ALL need a break ☺️
This is outrageous. Is this the reason why there is an egg shortage in the US? Mind boggling. Thanks for keeping us informed.
NO, Our feed bills went up. NEOHIO
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.
Im sure this has a part of it but its ultimately just inflation & losing barns to avian flu. Just go local for eggs.
My son thinks it’s avian flu reemergence, but I think that’s the cover. Tin hat thinking😂❤
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 see a lot of TH-camrs complaining about the chickens not laying at all, now I see why. I’m glad your speaking out because you have a big following and it’s getting more people awakened, (thanks for that) because that’s what this world needs RIGHT now! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you Doug and Stacy. I've been hearing bits and pieces of this suspect feed. I have raised chickens for 30 years and have always included sunflower seeds, oats, cracked corn and lots of free range. Be safe everyone and God Bless.
Can confirm this is happening in Australia too. Eggs dropped from 2 dozen a day to 5 a day, late summer.
Did you swap feed? If so did that work for you?
The eggs are smaller in the US, if bought at store or from food banks 🤔

Brewing?
This has been under way for over 100 years.

This is just the tip of the iceberg... the entrance to the rabbit hole.
It goes very far and wide with many entities involved.

Grab your ankles sweetie because you ain't seen anything yet.
This is our 3rd yr with chickens. 15 chickens and we were hardly getting enough eggs for daily use. I heard you talking about chicken feed being altered. We went to an Amish store and got a bag of pellets and mixed grains. After 2 weeks, we are getting 4-8 eggs daily! So glad I switched brands! Thanks, Doug for putting us on to this! And the shells are harder!
Chickens generally reduce laying at that age. Sure giving them good food can help but the long term solution is to mix in some younger birds.

I started growing sorghum, sunflowers, and oats last year. I hope to help supply feed in exchange for meat and eggs later on when it becomes necessary. 👍
Oo, that’s a great idea! :D Gonna look into what grows well here that’s nutritious for chickens
This explains why my hens were not laying anything for the past 6 months. I thought it was something I was doing wrong. Low and behold, my hens have started laying again in the past two weeks (I’ve gotten two dozen from 6 hens) when I changed their feed. I’m changing it again to making my own feed now thanks to Doug and Stacy!
I was about to post the same!
If you don't mind telling me, what type of feed were you using before and what did you change to? We just purchased 50 pounds of Purina brand, but haven't used it yet, and I'm not sure if we should return it or attempt to use it.
@Amanda don't use Purina that stuff is garbage. There are videos of people making there own feed and it's overall cheaper.

Well, then, what does he say about no eggs from chickens????
@@mistersniffer6838 ha! His older chickens have slowed down producing, but the young ones are doing great. However, he does let them free range for several hours a day. They could be getting their protein that way. He doesn’t buy his feed exclusively from TS either. He shops around, but bought some from TS yesterday. I’ve warned him, nonetheless.
@@pennyh8996 - I see, but, in 82 years, has he ever seen chickens just STOP laying egg's? Any assumptions why other would?
@@mistersniffer6838 agree. I’m now asking him everyday “how many eggs today?” 😄
Does this man really want to help us or is he just trying to make a market for his own TH-cam so he can get the money he needs or is he helping us it don't sound like it he talks too much and don't really tell us much that we already know
THANK YOU for reminding people to let chickens take BREAKS!! LOL I get a little passionate about that. ❤ They work really hard and deserve it.
I feel that the community of homesteaders is going to have to come together to get through all this by helping each other out and coming up with their own systems
And those of us who cannot due to health and or age cannot, can still be part of the solution by buying as much as possible from homesteaders who have some of their production for sale. Been trying to find as much locally produced products as possible with eggs and wheat berries difficult to find in my area of Western NY.
Yes, we can work together for the greater good for all, homesteaders and those of us who support them by buying from them.
@@mikewurlitzer5217 where about are you?! I'm Canandaigua area! I sell my eggs roadside (when the darn things actually lay them, lol)!
Parallel society…is exactly what will and needs to happen.
Sounds like communism 😂 Just kidding
I've been using that exact feed for over a year. Since Halloween I've had a huge drop in production. Last month TSC was out so I bought a bag of premium feed and production started going up. I thought it was a coincidence so now after going back to TSC it has gone to ZERO! Thanks for the info. Gonna search local feed stores.
Thanks, Doug. After 20+ years of raising chickens, I got rid of the last of my chickens a year ago. They were not laying for months! They were no longer an asset to us. Fed them Producer's Pride for a long while. After they were rehomed, they started laying again. This info makes sense. Thanks for sharing great information.
As a country kid I love having these reminders. My husband is a city boy, who would like to start small with chickens. I send him every video. He drives truck for a living. After being over the road for 18 years he's now a local delivery for 5 yrs now. He delivers to a lot of rural northern Nevada. I'm priming him to go back up to mountain where we met and married. Where life was simpler and more enjoyable.

I wonder if there are/will be long-term health effects on the hens. Damn sad and wrong! Basically criminal.

This is our first year with chickens (5 hens) and it has been a blessing. We are in a neighborhood and hoping they don't get stolen with the prices of chicken and eggs going up.

Go for it. I'm 64 and grew up with chickens. I got some of my own in my 30s but I guess just too many irons in the fire for me at that time. 10 years ago I built me a little chicken house and lot out of scrap lumber and wire. I've been keeping 8-10 hens and a rooster ever since. Nobody wanted to give me $2 a dozen for fresh eggs a year ago. Now my phone rings every day and my answer is I'm sorry. I need all my eggs now!

Ann's tiny homestead is another I follow. She has chickens and she's been fermenting food for her chickens to help. She's noticed the same thing with the feed not as nutritious. But fermenting she's getting them what they need. So cool. I like how ya'll are so observant. Taking care on your livestock the right way takes care of you and yours. These big stores don't give a hoot about us or the animals. All they are worried about is lining their pockets 🤷♀️. Sorry but that's my opinion. Thanks for the information! Hope you and Stacy have a Blessed Day!
Start the buycott of Tractor Supply!!
We have been making our own chicken feed for a couple of years now since we watched Stacy’s video on it. Our hens love it and still lay in the winter. They are much healthier with it too.
How do you make your feed?
The two of you are doing a great service for us that do not have the skills that ya'll do. Thank you
Our ladies also stopped over the last few months! But we were getting a really good organic feed from a local farm. After months of no eggs we actually switched about a month ago to organic tractor supply feed bc we thought something was wrong with our feed. They just started laying again! I’m so confused about this world! So weird. Thanks for being a beacon of light, guys 😊
The trick of sorting good feed from bad, is that the bad feed will not absorb water poured on it, If none of your chicken feed is good, you can use goat feed
It would be normal for your birds to stop laying the last few months and just now start laying. It depends on the individual hen but on average they stop laying when the days tip under 12 hours long and start laying again when they tip over 12 hours. They are light activated. Some folks even put lights on their birds through the winter so they don't stop laying. I found that hard on the birds and disruptive to their natural cycle. If you were using organic feed from a local farm I'd be tempted to see if they would tell you what ingredients they use and where they source them. Watch out for GMO's even in organic!
When is the people going to act against tyranny like Bill Gates buying up land and water resource
@@MyBearhugger I totally agree. Those of you that don’t give your poor little chickens a rest, I suggest you pump up their protein, with flock raiser.
Year round laying will definitely take its toll. Let your chickens rest! Buy new chickens every year or breed every year, the younger ones will lay through the winter. The old ladies will rest.
Not true...220 a year egg breeds slow down,...280 a year egg breeds barely slow down, then there's the 300 a years breeds who hardly skip a beat...these are averages for certain breeds ..now if you have ornamentals or exotics, you'll average 150 eggs or less, but Rhode island reds and white leghorns are going to produce SOMETHING weekly...I have NEVER had all he s stop...I haven't gotten an egg out of my 14 hens SInce October! And 3 are 280 layers, 8 are 220 to 240 layers and ones a wellsomer. and yes, some breeds stop....but you're giving out disinformation. I've suspected the feed SI ce late November because the stoppage is so COMPLETE.
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!!
Hi Doug!! Greetings from Finland! We have about 10 henns and they stopped laying eggs at the beginning of September. At that point we had commercial chicken feed. We switched to homemade mix in October. They started laying eggs on Christmas again. That was a 4 month gap without ANY own eggs!!!
This makes me think it's an ingredient . Probably being purchased from a large scale supplier...
Happy your chickens are back to normal.
How do you make your chicken feed?
@@clp6743 we mix sunflowerseeds, whole oats, peas, DME and a few catkibbles
Mounting feathers in the winter, give chicken’s time to regrow new feathers, just like humans regrow new skin. Chickens use their food source for this at this time of year to make it through the winter, for them growing feathers are more important than laying eggs
I've raised chickens all my life. I know what I'm doing. I wasn't getting eggs for a long time using the current blend of Pride chicken food from TS and so I switched to a different brand that had black sunflower seeds in it and a bunch of other good stuff and they've started laying again. 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. Not to mention that feed has almost doubled in price in my area (Pecos NM). We gotta stay on our toes and stay self reliant.

I’m so glad that you keep us all updated on these things. These dang people are ruthless lunatics trying to slowly take us out. If it’s causing less egg production is it actually harming the hens too long term? Tainting meat? Thanks for all y’all do and being great folks! We have to stick together to fight the evils of this world as we know it.
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 .
@@rachellewipf7094 Pellets. We’re mixing our own now which they’re eating.

So true about the chickens needing a break! I never liked the idea of using the lights to trick them into laying. Thanks for your common sense 😊
Kind of absurd. Chickens aren't plants.
I've never seen anyone do that, and it's been 25+ years for me
The sun goes down at 430 in December and January. We were only getting 3 eggs out of 10 chickens. Got a pink UV light, used for 3 hours after sundown. We now get 7-9 a day
A chicken only lays a certain amount of eggs throughout there life
I'm sorry but that's what chickens are breed for is laying eggs.
I’m glad it’s coming to light. I noticed my girls lay just fine when they free range and have kitchen scraps. I was using producers pride and didn’t even put two and two together. We switched and they’re laying more frequently.
I pray YT doesn't take you down because of all the information you give us. You and Stacy are so great to bring it to us. Thank you for all you do to make my homestead better.

I have been soaking up everything I can watch about homesteading, gardening, cooking from scratch etc. ever since. I was fascinated with watching him build his mother's house.

So true Doug, many believe OUR governments wouldn't do this to us, but indeed they will, they have, are and it won't get better.
Making feed yourself for your animals is a great savings plus you know what is in it. Thanks for keeping us informed Doug!
I haven't found this to be true at all. Spent a wad of money on various seeds, grains, etc, and tried making my own feed. My chickens only ate part of the feed, kicking the rest onto the ground. Huge waste. The parts they ate wasn't enough nutrients so they took forever to refeather after a molt, and it led to lost weight. I get a 40lb bag of layer pellets from Rural King for $20 vs the over $100 I spent on 40 and 50lb bags of feed components. The layer feed lasts longer with less wastage, in my experience. I tried it but am back to good feed. My chickens feathered out faster and some have started laying again.
As a note, my chickens ignored most of the homemade feed components, favoring wheat berries and black sunflower seeds. All the rest was waste.
@@BooDamnHoo did you try Fermenting the homemade recipe so it's not so easy to kick out? This is my concern too because I've got food scattered everywhere even with prepackaged feed.
@@heatherk8931 I have tried fermenting. So far my chickens didn't go for it. They prefer the dry. I may try again in the Spring.
@@BooDamnHoo Change your feeder so that the chickens can't throw out the feed and have to eat what's in front of them before more comes down the tube.
Not only did I experience this myself, I also had several die due to egg binding related issues on their feed. Switched to Family Farm and Home feed and I'm getting 9 eggs a day in winter with 11 chickens. No more health issues.

I have a neighbor who has 10 chickens in her backyard. She was giving us eggs a few months ago because she had so many. All of a sudden, her chickens stopped laying eggs. All ten of them. She switched their food to goat feed and they started laying eggs again. She had been buying her chicken feed from tractor supply.
Tell her not to use goat feed. It’s not formulated for them or healthy for them and some is medicated. Kalmbach is a complete feed
@@purefectyourskin She already switched to a new feed. She picked a feed that was close enough to what they needed just to see if it was their original food. We talk all the time because she’s right next door and I’m getting chickens now too. She’s my chicken sensei 😆
Feeding goat feed only to chickens is not a good idea. It doesn't have what they need. Also, which of the four brands of chicken feed from tractor supply was she using? They have different brands from different companies. Are you saying they're all in on it?
If the protein isn’t right, they can have kidney failure.
Why not? Most doctors and nurses were in on the jab.
1.01M! So well deserved! 👏🏻
My mum used to have a metal can with handle she kept on the wood stove and cooked up all the vegetable scraps for the chickens and they loved it and laid plenty of eggs
Man, that feed looks good for anyone to eat 🤠. I remember growing up we had a Dog and two cats and we never fed them store bought animal food, they ate what we ate and they lived LONG LIVES 😊. MY Mom always cooked enough for All❤️
We need to go natural and make as much as we can. I'm from the big city and I'm getting a crash course from you all. Thanks so much!
Thanks Uncle Doug, for the warning. I really appreciate you concern for us small farmers. We lived in Missouri for 3 years and and got our feed bulk from a gmo free farm. And we really enjoyed feeding it to our chickens. We recently were feeding our chickens with feed from tractor supply but now we're trying to find a different supplier! God bless
Start the buycott of Tractor Supply!!
We (my wife and I) are new to the backyard chicken game. Thanks for sharing this info with us. We are already pretty sus over the Tractor Supply sponsoring child exploitation.... but we hadn't heard this about the feed issue yet. Thanks for getting the word out!
We've been buying at local small businesses for decades. Married 41yrs, doing what we can to opt out of the system living is suburbia. You've given us some great info through the years! Thanks for all you do 😁
We appreciate you talking about it thank you. The word needs to get out, more people need to know. They're trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
It wouldn't surprise me that someone is tampering with the feed. There are those who don't want us to be able to produce our own food, as we know. Thank you for sharing your research with us, Doug.
Same here, my hens didn't lay hardly any eggs since September. I saw your video and changed feed and now starting to get a few eggs. Thanks for the information.
