What to grow?

Am I the only one that mainly plants a garden for my animals? My family enjoys about 25% of what we grow but mostly when I am trying to determine what to grow I mostly think of what the chickens want to eat and what veggies the rabbits will chow down on. It supplements the cost of food for them and I get to do what I love most; garden.

I grow for my chickens all the time. It saves money plus I knew they are getting the proper nutrition

I grow pumpkins for them, grains, and herbs. They love comfrey and its good for them

Why a good idea! I’m so obsessed with the vegetables I never think about my chickens. I’ll plan that for spring maybe.

Make sure to plant mucho herbs. Not only do the chickens love them they are good for them. I also put them in the nesting boxes and around the coop to mitigate the flies.
