Chicken feed is a bit of a hot topic today as feed prices rise and many homesteaders are looking for ways to be more sustainable and therefore less depended on off farm resources when feeding their chickens. Cooking food for your chickens is a very good way to convert what may otherwise be a waste item into a homemade feed alternative for your chickens. Now this does not come without a cost as you will need some time to make this work but if chickens are providing your family with a sustainable source of food then the cost is likely going to be well worth the time and effort. Now in addition to using waste items we are starting to look beyond just scraps to ways to grow more feed for our chickens at home and today we are going to discuss some of our preliminary findings as it relates to cooking chicken feed at home to help in reducing the feeding cost of your chickens and provide them with a healthy diet they are actually going to eat. Thanks so much for watching!
