I got 7 #ButtNuggets today from 8 hens that started laying this winter. A new record. 🐔🐓

I love a good haul! My girls have all started laying again and I couldn't be prouder.
#buttnuggets the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast 💜💪🫂
They have 'trash' leaves for bedding that city folk were kind enough to bag up for me. They are mostly fed restaurant trash and sprouted sunflower seeds. They don't really touch the feeder of grains. Trash into compost and eggs! I will not eat ze bugs.
When sunflower seeds were on sale for $9 for a 40# bag, I bought 10 of them. Sprouted 3 quarts at a time every other day.
Jarusalem artichokes, the grow with no tending and my chickens love them. I do have to crush them for the chickens.
Winter squash, they store well.
Nice. I have some sunchokes going. I planted a 5 gallon bucket of them 2 years ago. Some patches could be dug and spread. I'm not sure I could get rid of them if I wanted to. I'll have to plant a bunch of squash. Thanks.
one of the most life promoting foods imo. $9 per 40lbs? Unheard of in my area. More like $38 for 50lbs (canada)
I can regurally get $18 per 40# bag at the surplus store. This sale was at the feed store and was a surprise. I'll have to check, but I think they are normally $30ish. I should have bought the rest of the pallet and had them load it in my truck.
Gotta watch you dont have any pest larva, grain moths etc. In the bags They can do alot of damage in a few months esp. Over the summer. I had one bag that was completely infested
