Call me crazy but if my chickens eat lots and lots and lots of green things would we end up proving Dr Seuss right? Not so I am afraid, but our girls do eat lots and lots of lettuce and basil and watercress and pretty much any bug they can catch. ( and they are GREAT bug catchers)
But...all green things aside they do need more than all the green stuff we provide. Even our super mineral rich lettuce and herbs is not enough. We feed them some sort of minerals that friend Marvin mixed up for us as well as some Layena crumbles or pellets. Cracked corn and scratch makes up their daily feed as well as about one gallon a day of water. Each morning as I approach I am greeted with a chorus of sounds that everyone should be privy enough to hear. It just makes my day to know that I am a part of such a beneficial arrangement with them. I take care of them and they in turn reward me with some of the most delicious eggs I have ever eaten!
Next... Swimming Pools, Movie Stars!
