OK, I thought they were going to be chicken food! You will share won't you?

I'm going to eat my chickens, too! Equal opportunity and all.

I'd make hummus. But I tend to see to myself first.

There's a lot. I can do both. I think I might can up some of the chickpeas, too.

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.

Some flocks will eat them, some won't. Mine love the whole thing from greens to the roots so it keeps them busy for quite a while.
