Cargill and Purina chicken feed is probably halting home egg laying

There are some videos on YT emerging about it with lots of confirming comments from chicken folks.

I can confirm personally that a Cargill brand (Nutrena) halted my hen's egg laying. Others are reporting that Purina brands (such as recently acquired Dumor, Tractor Supply's main seller) are also halting egg production. Producer's Pride is another label to watch out for. There may be more but anything made by Cargill or Purina should be avoided. Once the hens are off the Cargill and Purina brands egg production resumes in about a week. Issue is likely a L-Lysine deficiency in the feed. Once I cut back on the Nutrena and started supplementing with lysine rich fresh food (salmon and beans) egg production is starting back up.

Intentional? Or just another sign of dying money leading to manufacturer's cutting corners on ingredients? Or both? Interesting that it coincides with skyrocketing egg prices, also.

Interesting.

How many of these feeds are partially or fully sourced from China?

That's why I don't use that feed. I use a holistic feed with lots of good herbs to help the chickens stay healthy at Tractor Supply.

It just so happens that Bill and usual suspects are engineering lab versions of eggs and their nutrients, along with the fake meat and whatever else. Pretty much looks like they want to corporatize and engineer everything so that eventually people can't produce anything naturally but rather must purchase their patented engineered versions. Remember, nothing naturally occurring can be patented and monetized, only engineered versions, which they can control what is or isn't in the product. Cholesterol in eggs is essential for sharp brain function.....

Statement by Bill Gates on Receiving an Honorary Knighthood

LONDON -- Bill Gates, co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft Corp., made the following statement on receiving an honorary knighthood from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II today:

"I am humbled and delighted. I’m particularly pleased that this honour helps recognise the real heroes our foundation supports to improve health in poor countries. Their incredible work is helping ensure that one day all people — no matter where they are born — will have the same opportunity for a healthy life, and I’m grateful to share this honour with them.
...
Her Majesty conferred the honour in a private ceremony held at Buckingham Palace. Gates was accompanied by his wife, Melinda Gates, co-founder of the foundation.

Later in the day, Gates will speak on a panel at the Wellcome Trust titled “Global Health: Putting Science to Work for the Developing World.” The panel will focus on innovative approaches to increasing research on diseases of the developing world, including strategies to engage private industry in global health research.

Biggest national egg producer Cal-Maine entered a 'joint venture' with Purina. Around the 8 minute mark the real story of the 'feed>egg price>shortage>avian flu' fakery is exposed.

Vids of the results of changing chicken feed to local producer's products are coming out. I'm still keeping an eye out for any vids where formal analysis of the bad feed is revealed. Ironically, people will suffer a lot of abuse (see TJ's quote about sufferable evils https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/thomas_jefferson_165960) without much push back....but start messing with people's animals (and kids) and they get angry. I switched to a local mill's product yesterday, so I could stop buying expensive ass salmon to supplement, and will post the results in about a week.
