Weeds or seeds?

[CBinSantaCruz]

I was going to plow a field and plant a mix of seeds from the bulk section of the feed store. Rye, clover, peas, wheat. Whatever else is cheap. I was going to mix them all up and plant them together a let the chickens in after a couple months. But then I thought I have a field of wild carrot, dandelion, milk weed, foxtail and other common weeds. I'm really good at growing them. It seems a shame to plow them under and plant something else. Chickens might like weeds better for all I know.

What do you think?

Chickens go CRAZY over wheat berries. I think they will like them better than dandelions.
Rye and peas will attract deer and other wildlife for sure.
Chickens tend to love a meadow, whatever is out there for them.

Wish you the best on what you decide to do. Love Santa Cruz by the way.
