Things You Can Grow That Chickens Can Eat
Dylan spent the weekend with us. He was a big help when it came to the chickenyard. He nailed all the boards up to help Grandpa. You see, I am just not handy in that way.
Speaking of chickens; mine are growing by leaps and bounds. I have discovered through the years that chickens will eat just about anything. Home grown produce is full of nutrients, and poultry will appreciate a break from chicken feed. If you have a lawn, put your flock to work. They will mow it, eat the slugs and snails and leave it well fertilized. The question is, what won't they eat from the garden? Chickens love lettuce, spinach, strawberries, chard, carrots and tops, beets and greens, green beans and the list goes on and on.
Raising chickens at home can provide a homeowner with some friendly, feathered pets as well as a supply of fresh laid eggs.
