Right now, I'm just using a seed mix i can get at a local nursery - lol! It has varieties of clovers, rye grasses, millet, buckwheat, trefoil, flax, and alfalfa. I am still learning about all of this, so this is a quick fix for now. It's a mix formulated especially for chickens, and it grows...
Same here, though my birds are pets first, producers second (and I am a vegetarian, so no eating any of my flock).
We moved to this little farm from suburbia a few years ago, and I brought my birds with me. You'd think it'd be a better environment, but I find it much harder to keep a flock out...
Imma be honest - I only got about halfway through this thread. So if what I'm about to suggest has been mentioned, I apologize.
I am in a similar situation, though I am less concerned about healthy eggs and more concerned with giving my chickens and ducks the best life I can.
I have 22 birds...
