I’m going to try to plant some things to grow and dry for our chickens, in the event that chicken feed becomes hard to acquire at some point. People used to grow their own feed, right? All the percentages of protein and minerals and yada yada yada, weren’t overanalyzed to death (this sentence may have triggered some of you, hopefully not). I don’t want to HAVE to buy things from the store. So share your thoughts with me.
Could I grow oats, corn, peas, and add in their own eggs? I also have alfalfa and other things I could grow. Maybe start a mealworm farm?
How does one actually feed their chickens, from their own back yard? My chickens free range on 2 acres as well. Anyone successful in being self sustaining in this way?
