I am currently raising a flock of chicks on fresh comfrey, supplementing it 
with alfalfa straw, fresh greens from the greenhouse, wild bird mix and 
commercial starter. The starter contains antibiotics, and I am really 
resistant to use it in the future, so in a way I am trying to develop my 
own way of growing poultry, using available resources . After a week of 
such diet babies are happy and healthy. Does anyone know, if I am doing 
something wrong (or right)?

P.S. They sure prefer comfrey to anything else!
