Raising backyard chickens - Natural farming workshop - Make you own chicken feed and other tips If you are wondering what to feed chickens then you are in luck because chickens will eat almost anything (yes even chicken!) so it is important that you offer your backyard chickens a wide variety of food options to maintain a complete and balanced diet. In this video Kim Chang presents a Natural Farming Poultry workshop on making chicken feed, brooding box for chicks, and how to prepare the floor of a chicken enclosure. In this full length video workshop Kim Chang presents her Chicken Feed Workshop. Kim has been feeding 42 egg laying hens for the past year incorporating the tactics of Master Cho’s Natural Farming learned from the master in Korea in Hawai’i. Korean natural farming (KNF) takes advantage of indigenous microorganisms (IMO) (bacteria, fungi, nematodes and protozoa) to produce fertile soils that yield high output without the use of herbicides or pesticides. An result is improvement in soil health, improving loaminess, tilth and structure, and attracting large numbers of earthworms. KNF also enables odor-free hog and poultry farming without the need to dispose of effluent. This practice has spread to over 30 countries, and is used by individuals and commercial farms. The basic feed recipe is 30% fresh greens 30% any fruits, sweet potato, left over food, imo4 30% store feed 10% fermented feces of the floor Kim’s spending about $60 a month right now on the store feed. Perhaps it can be eliminated by replacing it with a local grown feedstock, like amaranth? Please experiment, Kim says. She feeds her chickens many weeds and hopes to gradually reduce the amount of imported feed while sustaining egg production of about 70%. See the video for the whole presentation.
