Re: [CHICKENS-101] greens and other yummy things for the Chickens

 

<<I don't know if Oregano is good for them or not, but if you plant it, keep on it. I planted some one year and played heck getting it out of the garden. Tried to take over like a weed. Not sure what kind it was.>>
 
Maybe we have a cold enough winter that the oregano won't live through it--at least it hasn't so far... But maybe your oregano needs to be treated like horseradish and mint, and grow it in a section of pipe or similar, set down into the ground so it can't spread.  (My mint suddenly popped up in the asparagus bed this past summer... probably a bird pooped it there!)
 
I've been watching some of the corn-fields that got flooded here earlier this year.  The farmers apparently can't salvage anything, at least to feed to dairy cattle or other stock, according to the USDA.  Wished I already had the chickens, so I could save some of the dry ears for them...
