Kitchen Scraps. The number one way, hands down, to save money on feeding your chickens is to offer them kitchen scraps. In doing this, you’ll never have to worry about wasting food – you can just throw the scraps to your chickens!
Egg Shells. Eggshells are by no means a complete source of nutrients for your chickens and can’t be fed as a sole replacement for your regular chicken food allotment.
Potato Protein. Potato protein is commonly used in things like dog and cat food. It is used as an alternative to cornstarch in many places of the world.
Fodder. The idea of fodder is actually quite simple, although many chicken keepers shy away from it out of a fear that it will be too complicated and time-consuming for them to do.
Garden Weeds. Time to weed the garden? Toss the trimmings to your chickens! They’ll eat just about any kind of garden waste, including lawn clippings and most weeds – so long as they weren’t sprayed with pesticides.
Cottonseed Meal. Cottonsead meal is the byproduct of producing cotton. After the cotton has been gineed and the oil and seeds are removed, the rest of the mash gets fed to livestock.
Deer Corn. Depending on where you live, you might be able to get a bulk buy of deer corn (or in some places, carrots) that are bagged specifically for deer.
Free Ranging. Free ranging your chickens is one of the easiest ways to feed them on the cheap. Plus, it involves next to zero effort for you. Simply let your chickens out and they’ll enjoy pecking through the grass, or chasing bugs and insects.
Greens and Root Vegetables. You can, of course, grow a garden with just about any kind of vegetable for your chickens. They will eat virtually any crop (although they don’t like onions, in my experience).
Sunflowers. Sunflowers not only look beautiful growing on your lawn, but they also produce seeds that can be fed back to your chickens. You can buy sunflower seeds, sure – but growing your own is way more fun!
