Feed your Chickens for Free!

Why would it be dangerous for them to be foraging in a compost pile.?

I lost two chickens to that, and read about it. You can search about it.

I had a seedless Concord grape vine that started bearing last year. I'd go out and look at those grapes starting to get that nice purple color and my mouth would water. I went out one day and they were GONE! All but a few tiny, shriveled looking little ones. I was crushed. I looked at the kitchen window later to see the hens JUMPING UP to snatch those last few remaining ones... *note to self: either move the grapevine or fence it off... *

Apparently they liked them

I didn't even know chickens could jump until I saw mine jumping up to nibble the tender leaves off my apple tree!

Moths. The babies love chase them around the brooder along with any other bugs, even stinkbugs. The big girls love celery and tomatos chopped into tiny bits.

Can you really be allergic to apples? They make me have heartburn and I feel terrible for hours! I can eat them cooked okay.... My kids eat them like they are going to run away without them. Leaves a lot of cores for the compost (and future chickens!).
