HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS FOR FREE!!!






Having chickens can be fun freeing and for sure a great way to save money on organic eggs! i know we are always looking for free ways to feed our chickens so that we can continue to live a debt free lifestyle off the grid.
For us every dime matters! Thus we have to be creative with such  things as chicken feed. When it comes to the chickens we dont like to rely on  to much grain. Organic grain is necassary but can be very expensive so when we do feed our chickens other "stuff" we make sure lits FREE!
One alternative source that can be a option depending on where you live is picking clover! Wild clover is abundant in areas where there has been recent forest fires. Here in the panhandle of Idaho we have many fires last year. The benefit of the fires is the luch vegatation that sprouts. Which makes it ripe for the picking. We have acres of forest floors blanketed with wild clover. I simply take a shopping bag and when needed  go and pick myself  some free food. Some people may look at this as a waste of time. But foraging for your chickens be it clover or weeds or grass is a great way to supplement and save money!
