Prepping to an extent is sound reasoning in my opinion. I live in a rural area of the Sierra Nevada so it’s just been a fact of life. I grew up getting snowed in once to thrice in the winter, it doesn’t happen often anymore though, now wildfires are a more of the issue, power outages are...

Critical thinking and objective evidence is very threatening to some.

Here’s another issue many who buy layer feed might not consider as well as those mixing their own feed. Calcium can inhibit iron absorption and visa-versa. Normally this doesn’t pose much of an issue and it’s pretty negligible with a healthy diet. But if one were to be taking calcium...

It seems to be that you’re most upset about people voicing different opinions to the point that you like stamping people with labels to get others to ignore them. Freedom of speech goes both ways, it shouldn’t be silenced when it doesn’t fit with your agenda. People sharing facts aren’t...

I actually supplement my feed with what I grow in my garden, relying solely on one source of nutrition is never a good idea in my opinion, sometimes especially in spring feed from the store can be old or a middleman didn’t store it properly “opened some moldy bags a few times.” Varied diets are...

It depends on how you choose to perceive either I suppose.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, hence the wildly different opinions expressed here. As for wether anyone gets offended or upset over these opinions, only they would know that about themselves, anyone else can’t say wether they are or not, doing so is just projecting their opinion’s...

Old seed or the feed itself is old.

Lethargy is a symptom of so many things it’s impossible for me to say, but malnutrition also causes that. Thiamine deficiency as one example can cause a bird to be lethargic. Biotine deficiency as another example can cause fatigue and a poor appetite, and biotine is quickly lost as feed ages, so...

This has nothing to do with discrediting someone’s expierience. No one here to my knowledge has denied that a flock stopped laying nor have I. Proposing the fact that the issue may be broader and not just because “the feed is poisoned” is not being ignorant. Blindly believing so is ignorant...

If “critical thinking and freedom of speech are so vital” don’t all examples therefore matter? Wouldn’t attacking someone else for expressing their opinions and accusing them of “censorship through fear, bullying, and shaming” be exactly all of that. There are so many factors that can...

My neighbor is an engineer. Recently a lot of the neighbors pitched in to get a some transfers of gravel for our shared road because it was getting pretty shabby. She refused to help. A few days after the gravel was set down she had a load of red clay dumped over the steepest part of the road...

That small egg is something that can occur to new layers, hens that have recently resumed their laying, or old hens. It’s what’s often called a fairy egg, essentially it’s a yolkless egg, a mistake of the reproductive system. Sometimes it can indicate a reproductive issue, other times not so...
