Imagine thinking you were doing something witty bringing up ivermectin still.

well it is kinda funny this thread is saying Tractor Supply is trying to stop small chicken farmers due to their WEF ties, but when they were selling Ivermectin for covid they were all for the people. I guess their WEF ties didn't matter then

Unreal.

Thank you for validating and cross-checking something 'Snopes' or 'muh-Fact Checker.org' would / will declare, "Conspiracy Theory."

We-the-People can't keep on dismissing multiple eyewitness and anecdotal accounts & confirmation of SAME events because neither CNN, nor MSNBC nor FNC nor THE WHITE HOUSE will confirm stuff like this.

but you are dismissing the eye witness posts directly below his

I raise chickens and buy feed from small feedstores and Tractor Supply. I think this story is pretty much reaching very far and not really true. If they are dropping protein its due to cutting costs. The price of feed has skyrocketed like everything else. A bag of chick starter is up almost $11 from a year ago. A small drop in protein wont really stop chickens from laying. It often happens this time of year due to chickens molting from weather changes and the biggest reason is the short length of daylight this time of year. To make them start again put a light on at night and they will lay. Mine are laying plenty using the same feed.

I've used this exact brand the past month and mine are laying just fine.

I actually have gone from 2 eggs/day to 4-5 but that has more to do with light than the feed.

wouldn't expect a cheap store brand feed to be best for raising animals you're trying to raise for food. Buy a better feed.


Used it in the past for years…never a problem. Used their goat & horse feed too.

New conspiracy? WEF taking control by reducing the number of eggs laid? Lol.

This board never ceases to entertain. I can't wait to see what's next.

That's what we do, mixed in with some co-op feed. We started adding red pepper flakes, and oregano, to our feed, and it really helped. We always recycle our egg shells back into their feed to increase the calcium/protein content.

When Purina feed prices started to go up I tried some of their cheaper feed.
After a month or so what I did notice is that all my chicken’s had “dirty butts”. It’s not uncommon, but not all of the them at once. All the eggs were messy. Not exactly what I want to sell.
Switched back to Purina and things gradually got better.

WTH does that have to do with my post?

FWIW, I know nothing about Purina's business setup or directors (and not much more about its parent company, other than it's an ADR and there were always more convenient sector buys).

What's up with Purina?

My wife is a chicken farmer. She’s got 6 laying chickens. Haha.
All I’m gonna say is hers stopped laying all together a little time ago and we started feeding them cat food and they went back to laying. Go figure

I can't imagine large egg producers are buying their chicken feed from Tractor Supply. I would bet this is families raising chickens and eggs are for personal consumption. To assume this reduces by some significant percentage the number of eggs by commercial egg producers seems a bit ludicrous.

Good for your tomato plants too but takes a bunch of it to make a difference. Calcium I think.
