yeah; not scientific explanation but grains and lectins can cause microscopic holes in your intestines allowing undigested food particles to enter the blood where it is attacked by body (autoimmune)
I eat a lot of nuts and seeds. NO grains as the are conducive to IBS and leaky gut which leads to food allergies and autoimmune diseases. I occasionally eat bread every month or two and no cereal for about 18 years. Besides most grains are GMO and loaded with glyphosate. I also do not eat...
This is my 4th yr. I keep eggs on the the counter 2 - 3 wks and in the fridge up to 4 months unwashed. Yes the older ones float but have had only about 1\2 dozen bad eggs in 4 yrs
Thanks. Been doing much reading and have come to the conclusion that there just isn't enough light. Just found it concerning since my 1st 3 yrs weren't this abrupt. So hopefully they'll start laying again in the next 2 - 5 wks. Hate the thought of buying eggs again
6 hens; (2) 4 yr olds and (4) 3 year olds. Other years 3 - 5 eggs a day during winter, this year last 3 wks of Nov, 2 - 3 eggs every 2 days. Last 4 days : 0 eggs, should I be concerned. 20% protein feed, let them out of run only a few hours a few days a week. Should I be concerned?
not a lot in the garden as I'm planing much of it late, but they're there. Most of my concern is my elderberries, destroying them🤬😭. Can I put Permethrin on late in the eve like Sevin and not kill bees
Permethrin sounds like a possible help. Since it kills bees as well (spraying on plants), it will be my last option. Definitely will get some for the coop though. Thanks
Yes, they love them. Challenge; only have 6 hens and only out 4 - 5 hours a day as I don't have a fence around most of my yard (1 acre with half in barb wire. Don't really want them wandering too far.
Also have some hawks.
With what seems as hundreds of grasshoppers, don't see how they...
Have an invasion of grasshoppers and wondering what I can use to get rid of them without danger to my chickens. Boric acid, neem (that isn't all that effective) Sevin (organic?). What happens to chickens if they eat the bugs killed by these?
