Native Plants: Creating A Native Food Forest for Chickens!

Angely here! 🐔

This week we're loving on chickens and talking about how to create a little native food forest for chickens!Foraging allows them to get nutrients that feed won't always be able to provide and they'll have a blast finding their food!

🍓 From berries to superfood flowers to the bugs they'll pick off, this is a good way to spoil those chickens!!

🐓👨‍🌾 Bonus! These plants will attract beneficial pollinators that help your vegetable garden or homestead!
