Our last YouTube video of the year is up and running, and it’s all about growing chicken forage mix. Homestead hens love to eat fresh greens and those greens can be hard to come by in winter. Start a seed flat or two of forage seed mix and you’ll have happy, healthy hens all winter long.
We use a regular seed flat and a seed mix from Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply. It’s offers healthy omega-3s for you and other great benefits for your ladies.
