You have so much knowledge to share. I will seriously tip you 10 HIVE if you did a write up on how you feed your flock, in particular what are options for long-term feed storage. For humans, we store ground flour in mylar bags with dessicant packets to prevent oxidization. But still we put them at a shelf life of a year. I would be fine buying whole grains from a mill (like we really should buy wheat berries instead of flour) but am not sure of the optimal kinds and mix. Think about accepting a commission! Thanks as always
I don't want to brag anymore since we are just plain lucky, but we really get 3 seasons really with a fall garden after the summer crop is harvested. Here is our kale I planted in October, overwintered, harvested first week of March. I left the hardiest plant for seed saving.
