Money Saving Ideas For Feeding Chickens

 

Money Saving Ideas For Feeding Chickens

I definitely feed my chickens food scraps and they look forward to them

These videos have given me more ideas like growing some things that will be healthy for them and less expensive than giving them totally purchased feeds although you know I give them the best food ever

Kalmbach Feeds and they lay almost 100% eating this
I and they love these feeds! 
But I'm thinking of growing more things to add green suppliments in addition to our favorite feed

The Amish Method That Feeds Chickens Without Grain (only $1 a week).  Video YouTube

What You'll Learn:

How chickens naturally find a large portion of their own food

Why free-ranging can reduce feed costs significantly

The role of kitchen scraps and garden leftovers

How simple setups can support healthier, more active birds

The smart habist that make low0cost feeding possible

Saving Time & Money

 

Doer what is a doer? 

A person who does things, driven by producing. One who plans,executes, and leads. A person who likes to get things done instead of just thinking and dreaming about doing things.

We doers like to do & if you're a thinker dreamer standing in the way. I say lightheartedly to you "Please stand to the side because I don't want to bump into you while doing."

Not that we doers don't take the time to think about and make plans around getting things done, we do. In fact this post was started with some of that thinking and planning.

That comes in handy when doing also saves you time and money in the long run.

If you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty, maybe getting a little tired in the process you can accomplish much!
