Description
JUST ADD THIS Leaf to Their Feed and Watch Your Chickens Grow FAST — Old Appalachian Method
You're paying $22 a bag for grower, six or seven bags a batch, three batches a year, and a good part of it goes straight through your birds. There's a leaf that helps them keep more of what they eat. You can grow it from a $2 grocery store papaya, even here in the cold hills.
In this video, I show you the old Appalachian way my granny put up every green thing on the place, and how I use it now to stretch my feed and grow out heavier meat birds.
You'll learn:
🌱 How to grow papaya leaves from store-bought seed, even where it frosts into May
⚠️ The dangerous mix-up between papaya and our native pawpaw, and how to tell them apart for certain
🐔 Five things papaya leaf does for your chickens, from better digestion to deep yellow skin and orange yolks
🍂 Granny's shade-drying method, and why drying in the sun throws away the very thing you're drying it for
📏 The exact amount to mix into feed and water, and why more is NOT better
I'll also tell you the honest truth about what this leaf can and can't do. It won't turn a 5-pound bird into an 8, and anybody promising that isn't counting. But a little less feed and a little more weight, batch after batch, adds up to real money.
This leaf is a helper, not a medicine. Keep your medicated starter or vaccine program as usual.
👇 Tell me in the comments what state you're in and what you feed your meat birds. I read every one.
🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss the next one. I'll show you the one thing my granny changed the week before butchering. It took me eleven years to figure out why.
