The attacks on the chicken and egg industry continue unabated... a lot of people have problems with the latest chicken feed causing plummeting egg production. Possibly mRNA introduction to the grain feed?

Also, some are starting to think all the cattle that died last year, died from the MRNA injection. Just a thought. Does anyone else remember the mass cattle death that they blamed on the heat?

This is kind of off topic, but a lot of people do not know of FDA’s loose labeling rules for meat sold in the US. Meat can be marked product of the USA if it was merely cut and processed in the US. It can be grown, raised and butchered in another country and shipped here to be packaged with a very misleading USA label. After 2016 the COOL (country of origin labeling) policy has been disregarded. Buy local! Know your farmers. And ignore everything FDA says.

I've been using DuMor for years with no issues so far, which I understand to be TSC brand. There have been debates for years about whose feed is better, whether chickens are laying more or less, etc. It's Winter right now in the USA so egg production would normally drop off considerably. That said, it does concern me to hear about folks seeing almost complete cessation of laying.

News I saw last night mentioned Purina, others have mentioned DuMor. TSC brand feeds are generic and not exclusive to that chain (just the label), so I think that we would see the impact well beyond TSC customers.

I feed my dogs part vegan kibble and cook them meals. This morning they had kibble with oatmeal that I added sunflower nut butter, strawberries, kiwi, bananas, kale (from a smoothie mix) and cinnamon. Sometimes I make it with only blueberries and cinnamon.

Commercially available dog food has only been around for fifty or so years. Yet we’re told our dogs can’t survive and thrive without it. Dogs are healthier and happier eating a variety of foods. They’re scavengers by nature.

I used to feed my dogs only salmon and sweet potato dog food (kibble) until one of them started having health issues. She now thrives on a vegan diet. Two of my dogs have been vegan for around seven years.

They love eating vegan food. I cook them a different meal each day. I use Mrs. Dash to season foods like tofu scramble or stir-fry with various veggies and wild rice.

You can find cookbooks and recipes for dogs online. There are foods that they can’t eat, so research before giving them new foods.

CAM's avatar

Interesting that you bring up cancer in your dog (sorry about the loss of your pet). Anecdotally, my sense for the past several years is that there has been a marked increase in the rate of cancer in dogs, and I've wondered if it had anything to do with what they're being fed. Something in the dog food, or perhaps something in the table scraps owners feed them (we see increase in human cancer as well). Wondering if there have been any studies on this.

Personally, I've primarily used Purina One for my dogs over the past 20 years, especially during their first year, and have had great results. When I began using it, I had a lab/rottie mix puppy and was able to compare her to a litter mate a friend had and used low-quality/cheaper food. The difference in health, coat, growth, etc. was like night and day! It has become quite expensive so you may want to check with your vet to see if they recommend any quality alternatives. Either way, I would suggest checking ingredients and making sure it's not a bunch of grain "filler" as some of the cheaper alternatives use.

Expand full comment
CitizenA's avatar

Cage free chickens is a deceptive term. It just means each hen is no longer housed in an individual cage all her life. Instead they are warehoused in crowded long narrow Agricultural buildings, never allowed outdoors. (When buying eggs look for free-range, as they are allowed to forage on pasture land. )

- - So the ability to set fire to flocks of cage free chickens is no different than caged chickens. They are still trapped. Also, even if they are free-range, they go inside at night to roost, so they can be set aflame after dark.

I agree, it’s very suspicious, and nefarious indeed.

Francis, that sounds like a great plan. We live on an acreage and have plenty of room. It’s just a matter of securing the building from predators. But we’re planning to do the same. Our son started chickens last year, he has 13 and they have enough eggs to sell some. He said that 6 would be plenty for us. On Tucker’s report they were suggesting a problem with Purina feeds.

In the local chicken page that I recently joined, the people there said that the chain feed stores feed was crap and had no nutrition. That surprised me, I figured it wouldn't be as fresh as getting it local plus who knows WHERE in the world the ingredients come from. I can ask and get a list of where the ingredients come from at my local mill. The mill is over 100 years old and still using original equipment. Family owned for 3 generations. If I want whole grains, there is a place just a couple of miles from me too.

I am looking forward to the chickens. We had free range heritage turkeys, but are down to 3. We don't eat much turkey and the eggs are not easy enough to find to make it worth while to eat. We have predators so making a solid coop/tractor. The predator that killed two turkey hens sitting on eggs were skunks.

We had chickens and ducks for years and let them out to free range on our 11 acres where they kept down the bug population and weed seeds, which cut back on the amount of feed we had to buy. Sadly, a hawk (or hawks) discovered our flock and over time picked them off one by one.

The cattle die off in a Kansas CAFO feedlot last summer was not unusual. Cattle do not handle heat well; when they're packed together in a feedlot, and the summer heat combines with a stagnant air-mass (which is what happened in this particular case when the "wind stopped sweeping down the plains") - they keel over.

The number of dead cattle was merely a blip in the total daily numbers anyway.

As a cattle rancher I do not agree. Tens of thousands of of cattle died that week in temperatures that were no hotter (and were in fact cooler- than years we have had in the past. So why the massive and simultaneous die-off?

Fre'd Bennett, MAHA's avatar

Barnhardt was a cattle trader, and lives in the area where this occurred. (I'm not - the closest I can get to firsthand experience is going "Moo" at the cows I pass on the highway. LOL)

Her main points seem to be that (1) the 10,000 cattle that died were confined to commercial feedlots at that time - not wandering their range; and (2) there was a weather anomaly near Ulysees. KS that caused the die off; and (3) 125,000 head of cattle are slaughtered each day on KS, so 10k was not making a dent on the market.

Interested to see what you think about what she says.

PS: Barnhardt tends to conspiracy theories, so she's far from being a mainstream "fact-checker" type. She's one of us.

Controlling the climate is part of the war plan against us .The secret operation of spraying aerosols to control the weather is not a conspiracy theory. If you suspect processing plants are being burned down by DAVOS operatives you can also consider weather warfare to disrupt the food security by creating selective and adverse climate conditions.

Tucker had a small chicken farmer on last night. He talked about how his chickens hadn't laid eggs for a year, and they only started laying eggs again after he went to a different feed for them. I'm getting worried about all this....I eat a LOT of eggs. And chicken. The idea of someone adding mRNA into feed is highly worrisome, although I also question its viability as part of dry feed in bags that is kept in all sorts of temperature conditions. The death of the cattle last year is now something to revisit. Was that some kind of mad experiment to inject them or something? And now that I think of it, aren't they currently claiming the egg shortage is due to some sort of bird flu in chickens which necessitated killing huge numbers of chickens? Good grief, these people need to be apprehended and controlled before they do more damage.

It could be the hens are laying less because it is winter and there is less sunlight. Hours of sunlight effects egg production so unless you provide artificial light in their coop, they will lay less in winter. They should also be fed layer feed which is higher inn protein. If they spend the vast majority of their day out foraging, they can probably get by without the higher protein feed and not have production stalled. Light feed stress, molting, age. Those are the major things I can think of that keep hens from laying.

But we've had multiple cats for 30 years, some died as young as 9, 16, and one got out and got hit by a car. Anyway, they love their food and very little barfing, skin, or stomach issues since we switched about 10 years ago. They are kind of a woke company though, sadly.

Thanks for looking that up Donna, I’ve learned that you’re a sharp cookie in the research area! 😊 I glanced through it and didn’t see anything that looked like a red flag except a little side post about their ESG rating. Naturally every large company is probably mandated to have a statement on that.

So you don’t have to change cat food! We’re dog people, but I like cats too and would love to have one, except that I’ve had several fall prey to the coyotes in our neighborhood. I always tried to get them in at night but you know how they love to hunt.

Egg production is down even in warm climates...

Unless they live in S FL or S TX the hours will still be shorter. But then again I had hens in a location close to the equator and they still laid off laying a bit in the winter. So maybe there are other factors.

Blamed on fake "Bird FLU", Factory farms are using toxins like formaldehyde in the egg production process that damage the membranes and shell. Egg farms that don't use these chemicals are magically free of Bird FLU

Bill Gates, always right on time, invested in the production of artificial eggs, which began to enter the supermarket shelves en masse, replacing natural eggs.

It seems that, once again, the super expert has been able to predict both the pandemic with great accuracy, and the fires in the food sector enterprises, as well as the rise in egg prices and their lack of availability.

Yes.

And there was a massive number of cows and Buffalo that died in India too- it was blamed on mosquitoes

Or lumpy skin disease-

I don’t know what killed all those cows and Buffalo… and I’m certainly NOT pro vaccinate animals MORE- That’s clearly misguided.

But it did make me think of Bill Gates genetically modifying all those mosquitoes he’s released.

And Africa and India have been an open playground for all of bill gates experimentation.

Hmmm interesting. would love to hear more about the egg production plummets beyond the culling of animals bc of avian flu concerns.

I'll chalk it up instead to a change in lighting in the chicken houses. Something broader like this that's affecting every animal. Chickens need to about 13 hours of sunlight to produce an egg every 23 hours (approximately). You don't want those gals to go broody either bv they'll just sit there and stop producing. Snow in winter time is always an amazing re-energizing factor for chicken egg production. Nature is amazing

This is an old list (from September 2022), and I know I saw a more recent one but can't find it. However, this shows all of the places where meat production (of any kind) have had "accidents".
