I'm trying to replicate this on a smaller scale (1/4 acre) where our chickens still lay in their nesting boxes, but get as much free range plant material as possible, so far I have Mexican Sunflower, Banana Leaves, Moringa, Cranberry Hibiscus, Bananas, working on Tree Kale and Tree Collards and...
Yes, I have a lot of Moringa growing as well in the yard and the chickens graze on it all day. I have grown pigeon peas in the past and will again, they also self seed readily and can become basically a perennial. I will continue to document my progress with updates.
I'm fascinated with this post, I would like to see if it would be possible to scale it down to a smaller homestead. We have 1 rooster and 21 hens and they live on about a 1/4 acre section of our backyard in Florida.
My idea is to grow as much forage as possible for them in this small area...
