Chicken Foraging Mix - 58740

Those of you that keep chooks can testify to the fact that they have great personalities. Most people treat them as part of the family and want to keep them happy, and so do we, so we've put together a variety of greens that will provide beneficial nutrients for them. This pack can be sown almost all year, giving the chooks a great selection of plants to scratch happily around in. Seeds should be scattered thinly in areas where they forage - ideally you would fence off a couple of different areas, so that while one is growing the other can be grazed upon. Allow approx 2-3g seed per m² - you can mix this with sand, fine soil or vermiculite to help spread it evenly. Keep the chickens off the area until plants are well established and have reached a height of approx 8 - 10cm. After initial grazing move the chickens to the next area, allowing the plants to reshoot. 50g should cover an area of approx 17 - 25 m²

If you are struggling to de-husk the seed, there is lots of information on the internet with different methods people have used. Please note also that while this is called a mix, this is a single variety but there may be a variation in flower colour. This is treated seed due to Biosecurity requirements. This very small amount of treatment will not affect the edibility of the seeds that are subsequently produced from plants grown.
