We tried a little experiment, well two actually. One was cutting back the feed for the chickens, and two was using the Tractor Supply delivery service.
Cutting the feed back wasn’t that great. It caused a slow down in their eggs, and I’m not sure if it is related or not, but seemed to trigger a molt. Egg production pretty much stopped (writing this a couple weeks in the future..) and took a while to recover.
Tractor Supply also took their time delivering, missing the original promise date and stretched out the delivery over a few days. That was a little annoying as well.
We have one turkey who decided to nest behind our AC, and try to hatch her eggs. She never successfully hatched them, and is still holding on to one after a few months.
At the feed store, Jarek makes friend with one of the store/barn cats on duty!
