What do you grow to feed the chickens??

[Arielle]

Oh I wish I was a chicken at your house!! FIGS!!

 

[Jacqdiva]

Haha! Your probably imagining big ripe figs something like Cleopatra ate in her palace gardens. These are tiny wild ones, mostly seed, but yum to a chook... Still does summon a great mental picture.

 

[Arielle]

I love figs , the brown turkey type, dried or better yet fresh!!

We planted kiwi, 2 males and 6 females, to climb a picket fence. NEver gave much thought to the chickens stealing them-- they can have the lower ones as I suspect there will be plenty at the the top of the 6 foot fence which is well out of reach of thieving beaks.

Who has plans brewing for next year??

 

[Lacy Blues]

I always have plans... whether for next year or whether it will materialize some time down the road.

 

[Arielle]

lol . . . that works!!

DO have any new plants you want to try-- or tried something this year that you would not try again?

 

[Arielle]

Lots of jack o lanterns going to the chickens this week!!

 

[BeachBumBiddies]

Tried to give my guys the jack o lanterns & they were not interested in the slightest...

 

[lazy gardener]

Let them get a little "slushy" first.

LOL pumpkins like all else are an aquired taste. Once the young chicks see his older folks digging in , they want a piece of the action too.
