The only real challenge is getting them enough protein, because even free range it is hard for them to get enough bugs. We thought about raising red wrigglers to make up for the deficiency. (They are highly prolific type of earthworm.) Crystal, yes, they are that easy! The only real challenge is getting them enough protein, because even free range it is hard for them to get enough bugs.

I want very much to raise free-range chickens this year, but am a bit put off by the books I've been reading about their feeding requirements. Is it really as simple as you say? I would love as much feedback about the feeding of your chickens as possible! TIA, Crystal I’m very relieved to hear that your chickens have thrived with little or no commercial feed.
