We're able to keep the feed costs down simply because as a family of 7 with young kids we have a lot of food waste that the birds will happily gobble up.

Also their bedding makes fantastic compost for next year's veggies.

It's a nice system.

Leftover spaghetti and red sauce is hilarious when chickens get a hold of it.

We've recently taken on chickens and I also find the spaghetti free-for-alls very entertaining. I also like 'Chicken Basketball' where they will all attempt to get control of a squishy tomato or steal it from whoever has possession.
