Millet time


And now, millet time! As I've talked about in recent posts, every week I give my chickens a bucket full of millet. They love eating it out of my hand and scratching for it on the ground! The recipe is below:

Kelly's Millet Mix

1 to 2 cups of millet
1/2 cup of black-oiled sunflower seed
1/2 to 1 cup of cracked corn and cracked wheat mixture
optional- 1/4 cup of thistle seed

They absolutely love the stuff! I just spread it on the ground and watch 'em go. They dig, scratch, and peck at the ground! They're such good diggers, those little girls are!
