We have approx 30 laying hens (mainly Rhodes) and hope to expand into breeding and raising Bronze OR Ridley bronze turkeys.
We have been feeding the laying hens a 99% gmo free commercial feed, and it is so expensive. Our flock also free ranges all day ( locked at night due to predators)
I have seed catalogs in hand, and need to order asap, so here is the question: what can I grow (non gmo) in my garden (almost 2 acres available) to feed our laying hens year round, and also to plant ahead for the turkeys? We are growing Valencia peanuts this year, for fowl and 2 leggeds as well, sunflowers, hulless oats, and corn.....
I will watch this thread and hope for self restraint, but feeling the need to order seed soon.....lol
