Poultry Farmers whose hens have stopped laying. Try this:

Do NOT feed them with any Purina or Producers Pride product. Find locally sourced feeds instead, and within a few days of switching your young hens will start laying again.

One lady on Gab said she had switched over to goat feed and the chickens started laying again right away. Can feed them kitchen scraps and assorted veggies and fruits and seeds too. If they can find millet hay chickens love to pick the tiny black seeds off and eat them. Also eggshells that have been baked or from hard-boiled eggs can be crushed up and put with the food for calcium. If you don’t cook the eggshells chickens will start craving the taste of raw eggs and start eating their eggs.

@cherokeepatti That will work for small scale farmers, for sure. The goat feed is the best immediate solution for large chicken farms.

@4meAndyou or buy grain from independent farmers. My uncle raised milo grain, it puts on large seed heads and produces quite a bit. We’d give the chickens handfuls of that every day and corn too, veggie and fruit scraps, seeds from cantaloupe and melons that we raised etc. Then they’d pick around and find bugs or worms to eat.
