Ever since I began keeping the chickens in a pen I have been pulling grass and weeds for them to eat.
They love just about every kind of weed I have given them.
Grass and weeds are plentiful and grown in abundance along the side of the road.
It only takes a few minutes to pick a bucket full and the best part is...it's free!
free and good for them... I'll take a dozen eggs please :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the different weeds would produce different tasting eggs....like wild onions and garlic. Does it affect them? haha....I went down to type in the word verification and the first 5 letters are peeps!!

ReplyDeleteWe got 11 chicks last Saturday. They are cute. But stinky.
ReplyDeleteYou know - I just within the last week or so put a whole wheelbarrel of weeds on the burn pile - I NEVER thought to give them to the chickens - I'll have to remember this!!!
