Hey Jerry

My wife read today she read that a couple of feed companies have tainted their chicken feed so the hens dont lay eggs?

I'm trying to find the article.
I've seen some pretty "out there" conspiracy theories about eggs. I don't put much stock in them.

I hear that a lot of rumor and no facts that I've seen and no recalls I'm aware of.

I have a metal long feeder in the coop but they leave scratch in there. They like to eat on the ground.

Sounds like you're barely keeping up with the eggs you have now and you're going to double production?

Coming soon BGKYSmoker's egg and sausage mart.

No I dont have any light out there at night. SIL had the electric company put in a huge light on the side pole that lights up the whole back.
