Wintertime greens

[Sally PB]

I buy a bale of alfalfa hay. It's pricy but one bale lasts me an entire winter. I only feed one 3 inch flake every other day or so when the coop stays closed as it's too cold and snowy outside.
PS..I am in Michigan.

I'm in Michigan too. Where do you get a bale of alfalfa, and how much does it cost?

I have found alfalfa hay at farmers who still bale in small bales, but they are getting scarce. Most have gone to round bales. Now I just buy it from Tractor Supply they sell a compressed bale for I think around 20.00.
Also I buy a couple bags of deer carrots in the fall and throw 3 or 4 of those in for the girls to peck at. They eat the whole. Thing and it keeps my egg yolks nice and orange through the winter.
