BTW does anybody know if stock will eat or are affected by eating comfrey?
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)?
