What do you grow to feed the chickens??

[HerbGir1972]

I am thinking I will put a box in the open end of their run, weeds grow good there
so I thought I'd break the ground a little, plant something for then & cover with chicken wire.

They can eat, I can clean it out, ez peazy

Yup!!

Linda, as far as I know oxine is just a concentrated form of standard cholrine bleach.

Really, then I have a gallon bottle that should last me forever. It said 200 times the power of clorox

I have been sprouting barley and oats plus some budgerigar mix in square cement building blocks. I put some aviary wire over the top so the chickens can pull it out only as it grows through. Big success on that one. Chooks love it!

That's a great idea. Something on the lines of what I can do. I just love all these ideas.

Great idea! That is something I could try.

Super idea!!

Quote: LOL-- Yes!! I have used more chlorix than oxine-- actually given the expense the oxine is still unopened 3 years later!! lol

I know that my chickens LOVE cherry tomatoes! Cut them into smaller bits, maybe 4 ways. I do this but you don't have to.

My chicks love tomatoes also, I cut the little tomatoes in half and the girls just love them.

I show mine that if you squeeze the cherry tomatoes, seeds come out. Hehehe. Then there's no need to cut them up. They go wild for them!

And you do that by holding a bird, put a tomato in its mouth and then clamp the beak down onto it?

They have sharp eyes. Just squeeze the tomatoes in front of them. They are very attracted to the sight of seeds. Very exciting for a chicken apparently

I was just playing with you. I guess I should have used a smiley. Yep, my girls love tomato seeds too!
