Homestead Chicken Feed
While our chickens spend a lot of time foraging as one flock is free range on are to do list is figure out the homestead chicken feed. It is nice to be able to go to the store and get some feed. We are importing nutrients for our homestead. The article about growing fodder for the homestead caught my eye. This looked like a good way to some homestead chicken feed.
This is an important step to obtain as the chickens provide eggs and meat to the homestead. They do a great job of that and even fertilizing and providing entertainment around the homestead. It would be great to be able to grow them something green even during the winter. That may help out with the egg production during those off months.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone else that has some thoughts or experience with homestead chicken feed. That is another project to take on but has a great importance to keeping the egg train producing.

Not really sure about the big issue of ‘Chicken Feed’…or, as us old guys used to call it, ‘Chicken Scratch’. Chicken feed is normally just cracked hard-shell field corn. Just get you a corn grinder that can grind to ‘feed quality’. If you want to do a cattle or goat ‘sweet feed’, then just take your cracked corn, and add ground sorghum to this, also ground, and goats will LOVE you for it (cows love it also).
If you grow 1 acre of field corn, it will supply you with about 150-170 bushels of corn (52 lbs per bushel, so about 750 lbs of corn, enough to feed a small chicken coop and a couple of goats for a year, easily).
Nothing really special about it. If your egg-shells get ‘thin’ and are easily broken, just get some lime at your local farm supply store – tell the guy at the counter you need the lime to supplement your chicken feed. He’ll know what you are doing. The lime is nothing but a thin crushed limestone, basically, and it will RAPIDLY thicken shells. DON’T USE TOO MUCH, or your will have armored eggs! (no joke).
Hope this helps.
Sorry, missed my decimal on that corn amount, more like 6000 pounds (3-tons) per acre. Keep that in mind, when planning for farm, family and pets.
