I am quite fortunate to have much more garden capacity than I can use and I'd like to grow some stuff for my mixed flock of chickens, ducks, & geese. What are some good veggies to grow for this purpose. Also, if I grow a stand of feed corn will the birds be able to eat it this fall whole kernel off the cob or does it have to be milled?
