How to Feed Chickens Without The Feed Store (Growing Grains and Hunting)

Follow
Cedar Hills Homestead

This video covers how much feed chickens need, how much feed from the feed store costs, how many eggs you will get per chicken, how much meat there is on a chicken, simple chicken nutrition, which feeds and grains to grow, how much space is needed to grow the chicken feed, and the cost to grow your own grain.

I even talk about why you can't treat your domestic chickens like wild chickens or even the barnyard fowl our greatgrandparents used to raise.

All of this information and sources are available in the accompanying article I wrote https://thehomesteaderschronicle.com/...
