Supplimental Feed for the Chickens

Since our hens aren't yet free-ranging I suppliment their organic, GMO free grain rations with food from the garden.  Chard, kale, squash, chickweed all provide essential nutrients for Omega 3 eggs.  I sprinkle flax seeds, chia seeds, and rolled oats into this mixture.  When it is just greens, I'll add olive oil and raw apple cider vinegar, both of which help the digestive tract.  Bread crumbs are finely chopped, and dressed with olive oil and ground red pepper - the pepper helps keep the hens warm in this cold weather.  It is 18 degrees right now, and the hens roost under heat lamps.
