Grass - Eating Chickens

 

 

Did you know that chickens love eating grass?

 

Two of my free - range hens paired-up for a Grass Hoot-Nanny today.

They forgot to notice that I was photographing them.

 

Not only do chickens scratch in the dirt for worms; but they enjoy the fresh greens and chlorophyll as well.

 

So you wanna know what I feed the girls (chickens).

Only four of the girls are in this photo.

When the girls aren't out grazing for grass, sand and dirt, I feed them this fantastic corn, wheat, barley mixture.

My guess is that they much prefer grazing. They can hardly wait to get out in the yard everyday. I usually gather from two to five eggs daily. I think that they like laying fresh eggs for mommy.
