Cost effective feed????

[Bealadybug]

I am having trouble finding information out about finding a cost effective and healthy way of feeding my chickens. Does anyone know how to make feed cheaply (no pun intended) as the cost keeps rising.

If possible, try free ranging your birds. Whenever you mow your lawn, give them grass clippings and other weeds. Give them vegetable scraps from the kitchen.

There is a great article in this months Backyard Poultry. He had lots of good ideas.

Here is the website for the guy who wrote it. I'm finding tons of info here.
