You would think I've been farming long enough to know the rather odd things one should know, but this one took me by surprise.
So, one of my favorite things this time of year are those big bags of ruby red grapefruit. I eat a couple a day. Apparently one should not throw that many peels in the chicken coop. You want to talk about INSTANT stop to egg production - that will do it. It also causes them to lose LOTS of their short underfeathers.
