Keeping a flock of chickens healthy shouldn't mean spending a fortune on commercial feed every single week.
In this video, I'm sharing seven traditional Scottish crofter secrets that can help you slash your feed bills down to almost nothing.
I'll teach you why limiting feed to a quarter-pound daily ration stops waste, and how 20-pound root crops can carry your flock through the cold winter months.
We'll also look at how to stretch your grain up to eight times its weight by sprouting fodder on a simple kitchen windowsill.
If you want to raise healthy, productive birds without relying on expensive commercial feed bags, these time-tested methods are for you.
