There are many factors to consider when trying to integrate fowls into your garden system and supplement their feed naturally.
When you’re sowing winter or early spring vegies, add an extra row or couple of plants for chook food. Don’t stop at leafy greens, items like zucchinis, pumpkins and squash can be stored when mature for later treats. With corn, a poultry favourite, you can never grow too much and the cobs can also be put away for later use. If you choose a multicoloured variety, both you and the hens will benefit from the extra nutrients.
