I have one store some 12 miles away that carries feed for chickens. My chooks are free ranged much of the summer, but now they are too prone to hawk and fox attacks.
But, I got to thinking: I don't know what to grow to fed my chickens without the help of agribusiness. Sure they'll eat whatever they can, but they only eat a percentage of corn which I could grow and winter prep.
What could I grow and save for the winter months to feed my chickens? Does anyone know how to gauge how much to put up for chickens?
