Free Range here Is under 4 feet of snow here
And the flying predators get them ....not to mention the 4 legged predators. I live in a clearing in the middle of the woods. Critters everywhere. 3 years ago 4 chickens escaped from their pen and I was unable to catch them. They roost 30 feet up in trees at night. I really don't like them loose as then I have to worry about keeping them out of the garden. I figured they'd get picked off by predators in short order. 3 years later and they're all still alive LOL. Where do you collect their eggs?

True story. Just left Walmart, with the 60 count box of eggs. The door greeters were checking receipts on anyone with eggs. Seems folks are boosting eggs rather than TVs.
Paid 19 and change, they were 25 last week. Sad part, last year or so I could buy that 60 count box for $6.50 in Iowa and same exact box was $3 in Wisconsin, both Walmarts 35 miles from me.

Closing in on $20 per bag of feed
I'm gonna try making some fermented mash. I can buy feed at the local co-op for $10.50 a bag(50#), store bought crap is $20 and exact same 18% layer feed.

And the flying predators get them ....not to mention the 4 legged predators. Speaking of flying predators. Has anyone else noticed a large decrease in raptors this winter. We typically are covered up in hawks in the countryside and have dozens of eagles along my river. I have seen very very few these past two months. Not necessarily sad, just wondering? Now that you mentioned it. Flying predators don't seem to be as numerous here either.

The US government dramatically overreacts to bird flu. "After the clinical onset, the incidence rates of mortality in breeder, commercial broiler, commercial layer and backyard chickens were, respectively: 0.0215, 0.0341, 0.0179 and 0.0703 per chicken-day at risk." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22435197/If they would just let it run its course, most poultry would recover in about a week and be unable to be reinfected unless the avian influenza virus modified significantly.
