The View From the Farm - Latest comments on Winter Pasture for Grass-Fed Eggs http://www.plamondon.com/b2evolution/blogs/blog4.php?disp=comments en-US http://backend.userland.com/rss 60 In response to: Winter Pasture for Grass-Fed Eggs Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:22:07 +0000 David [Visitor] c695@http://www.plamondon.com/b2evolution/blogs/ Chickens in a tractor will eventually eat down even higher grass. However, they still prefer the shorter, more tender grasses over the taller, more woody ones. <br /> <br /> One point about planting grasses... don't forget that chickens love scratching in the soil and to take a dust bath from time to time. Don't rush to fill in all bare spots. A healthy hen needs a variety of terrain rather than a consistent, thick turf that is expected in your suburban lawn.
