Forage

I purchased some chicken forage seed to grow in the runs around the coop. It takes a little longer to grow, but I realized the rye seed I was using was coated for lawns, so uncoated seeds is a better way to go. The chickens love it.

The mix contains Ryegrass, Buckwheat, Forage Peas, Flax, Millet, Red Clover and Alfalfa Seed. I went to order another bag and the price had gone up, so I’m trying another manufacturer’s mix next.
