The cost of poultry feed has gone up 25% this year. We are already largely self-sufficient in feed for the goats and sheep but had yet to make the leap towards feed self-sufficiency for our poultry. The rising cost of feed however has pushed us to look into alternative, home produced feeds for the chickens and ducks. And so far we have successfully experimented with apples, rowan berries, potatoes and comfrey leaves. This video was filmed in the earlier part of the experiment before we found that it was better to boil up the apples and rowan berries. We have now slashed our poultry feed bills by half.
