What can i grow my chooks?

[Savannah_Likes_Chickens]

I’m thinking about growing some crops for my girls, and i need some help on what i can grow. I was thinking about Oregano Alfalfa, and some kind of lettuce (not iceberg). Any ideas? Mainly looking for leafy-type Or grassy crops.

Sprouting fodder stations are a great idea a supplement but you don't want it to cut too much into their diet. Chickens don't process leaves and grass like say, a cow, so they won't get the full nutritional benefits those things contain.

Mine have enjoyed cosmos, clover, and radish greens

Clover and sunflower. They love it and were fed as treats only.

A friend gave me a forage seed pack containing Bok Choy, Buckwheat, Forage Chickory, Clover, Cocksfoot, Endive, Kale, Millet, Forage Plantain, Purslane, Silverbeat, Subclover and Sunflower. I put a low plastic lattice around it so the chickens can't dig it but can peck at it when they like. Cabbage is also a big fave!
