I don’t know if he a warrant, there had been complaints of chickens going over the fence.
We are in a subdivision out in the country, a farmers pasture beyond the back fence. We only have a lot, no acreage.

Anyone else noticing this with their chickens?
Our chickens suddenly shut off about 4 weeks ago.
They always slow down during winter solstice, but never stopped completely. For days and weeks not one egg.
We had been using non-gmo feed, but it became unavailable about that time…….

This is worth paying attention to. With some quick research, it does appear to be a thing and likely explains the pricing which has been a puzzle for my wife and I. The connection with feed is ambiguous, with some people feeling sure that is it and with others saying they are fine on the same feed. Most likely cause is a reformulation of feed to something cheaper, possibly with filler like sawdust, but the context of what is being said leaves open other possibilities.
For anyone interested, relevant reading:

In related news, our local organic grocery store is having major supply problems when it comes to fresh produce. This is a store that never had ANY 'conventional' produce on the shelves in the last 15 years. Now about 30% is and they are filling the shelves with double stocking (apples over here and then apples over there to make it look more full). I talked with someone who would speak quietly about it and he said they simply can't get a lot of things or they are priced out...this is a place that charges $7 for a red bell pepper so priced out means something.
It's been going on for months, but the issue seems to be getting worse not better.
The egg laying issue may explain egg prices...this one seems to be missing a reason at this point.

Interesting. Lots of the New Testament connects back to the Old Testament.
BUT:
- Hardly any of the OT connects to other parts of the OT
- Hardly any or None of the NT connects to other parts of the NT

Not to be speaking heresy, but something interesting occurred to me. You could use this to validate various books in the old testament.
For example, if a book was put in at a later date, or is now incorrectly assumed to be part of the OT, it should have no or few references from the new.
Essentially, it's a way to verify what was in the OT at the time of the NT. Anything not referenced should, perhaps, be taken more lightly and books with greater "link" volume taken more seriously as they were known to exist at the time.
This could also work for verifying specific pieces, not just whole books.
...would love to know the age of the OT and NT being used and see this project run out far enough that you could zoom in and see what specifically quotes to what. ...now I have the itch to code this.

The chart must be a good start but is not complete, as nothing refers to Judges, but Samson and others are discussed in Hebrews. So there are references that are missed off the chart. What list of references is used? How was the chart derived?
Can't draw that conclusion without knowing how the chart was made. There's a good chance it was only made using NT references to the OT, so those connections don't exist simply because they were never intended to be there.
What would be very interesting would be the same chart expanded to include the full apocrypha - both those books considered canonical by some branches of Christianity and the other major books like Enoch. Then such a comparison could be made.Not to be speaking heresy, but something interesting occurred to me. You could use this to validate various books in the old testament.

Very interesting thought! I think the issue would be finding a sufficiently clean text, particularly already online so you don't have the input issue. By clean I mean if a version of the bible didn't include Enoch then any references that previously existed would have been stripped.
That thought starts to make it worth the time and quite a bit more interesting both from my own perspective and what it could yield for others. If a sufficiently good text can be found online (even if it's in PDF), preferably as old as possible, I will put in the effort to run the analysis and share progress/results.
I do not have time in the coming days to do the research on that. If anyone here can find good candidates, I'll take it from there.
I mention Enoch because it is directly referenced in scripture. For example, Jude 1:14-15 is a quotation of Enoch 1:9.
I don't believe there has been any concerted effort to strip extra-canonical references from scripture, scripture has been preserved accurately. We don't need to go hunting for a clean text, we already have it.
