Crying fowl: Amid high egg prices, some social media users are claiming that common chicken feed products are preventing backyard hens from laying eggs. But experts lay the blame elsewhere.
Some backyard chicken owners may have separately found their chickens underperforming, but experts say the issues are unrelated. While feed quality can affect hens’ egg-laying abilities, state agricultural officials told The Associated Press they have not heard of any widespread issues with feed affecting egg production, and several major feed suppliers say they haven’t changed their formulas.
Agricultural officials in multiple states, including North Carolina and Georgia, told the AP they have received no reports of widespread problems. “Backyard flock producers don’t necessarily follow lighting programs to support peak egg production,” Anderson said. “A lot of backyard flock people utilize natural daylight.”
