I have alfalfa growing "wild" out in front of my place by the drainage ditch.
When it is growing, I grab handfuls of it and take it to my chickens....They LOVE it !
I reckon that it must be good for them...so later in the Season, I don't mow it....I let it "go-to-seed" although I probably don't need to do that. Alfalfa has DEEP ROOTS !
But, my chickens will eat ANYTHING !
I use just plain ole straw-grass hay for bedding. CHEAP and sufficient.
