Here's a little insight to those fodder supplements:
Corn & Rye: both are low in regard to nutrition, but they will make your feed last longer when mixed, corn also serves as a great treat.
Kudzu: It is a good source of protein being in fact a legume, I think it's something like 18% protein by dry weight.
Legumes: This obviously includes plants with peas/pods and is a very good source of protein. They are also rich in iron and vitamin B.
Bahia Grass: Like any other grass serves as a good treat and source of greens.
All have their pros and cons. :)
 
Hi and welcome to BYC

On this link you'll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping birds - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archives

This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link.
