Title: Mustard
Post by: sasso on November 30, 2006, 15:26

I intend to rotate my various plots this year for my chooks and was wondering what I could sow in them so there'll be greens for the chooks when they populate the plot again, is Mustard a good choice? Obviously something fast growing is needed, I will also throw in some grass seed as welll because I can get hold of plenty of that, any suggestions?

just put spinach beet in and then you can get a feed off it as well and cut for the chooks till you want to let them clean it up afore you dig it in :wink:

Karl, do you ave to chop veg up into fine pieces for chickens.  I threw mine some carrot peelings tonight (along with seed mixture) and they didnt seem too keen.  I did chop it up but it seemed a bit big when they were next to it, if you know what I mean.  :shock:
