Crazy? Or Just Crazy About Protecting our Chickens from Moldy Feed?
In a whirlwind of poultry perplexities, Kim Lewis from Cargill recently sparked a cluck-tastrophe by questioning the sanity of those concerned about moldy feed. After discovering a moldy chunk in her Nutrena feed, she took swift action, only to find her local store, Mijavec's, still selling bags from the same contaminated pallet. Despite her genuine concern for her critically endangered chickens, Cargill's internal emails (accidentally shared) labeled her as “crazy” while downplaying the issue. This saga raises a feather-ruffling question: should we toss out moldy feed or follow the “don’t worry, just keep feeding” advice? Join us as we dive into this egg-citing debacle, exploring the fine line between caution and craziness in chicken care!

Chicken Making Honking Sound
This afternoon, one of my boss's chickens caught my attention with an unusual honking sound while I was feeding them. I noticed her sneeze once, but the honking persisted, raising my concern. When I picked her up for a closer inspection, she surprisingly passed some watery poop. Other than that, she seems to be doing fine—eating normally and her color looks good. My trusty friend Google suggests it could be anything from a blockage to a respiratory infection, but I’d much rather hear from real people than rely solely on AI. If anyone has experienced this with their feathered friends, I’d love to know what steps I can take to help her feel better and get back to her cluck-tastic self!
