All of the “extra” food around here goes to the chickens and comes back as eggs!

Amen! When they produce more eggs than my kids can sell or we eat those go back to the chickens (and a few to the dog). In the next couple of years I am going to give feeder pigs a try. A neighbor gets way more goat milk than they use or sell and it’s been promised to the pigs.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Bacon.

Oh man... I miss my hens. We'd give them all kinds of kitchen leftovers and they loved it. When we got snowed under with all their eggs I'd hard boil a bunch, chop them up and feed that back to them (with the shells for added calcium).
