EDITORS NOTE: I noticed a few errors in the video after posting. 1) PURSLANE is misspelled 2) OXALIS is incorrectly labeled as Sow Thistle 3) SOW THISTLE is incorrectly labeled as Lamb's Quarter My apologies for any confusion these errors may have caused.

Am I perfect? No. Am I working to be a better person? Also no. (love that shirt).

Apparently my yard is begging for chickens! Almost every one of these weeds are flourishing on my 1 acre lot. 😁 🐔

We grow duckweed in our large aquarium and give it to the chickens.

Weeds grow to repair the soil.

This video has some great information on not only giving your chickens a variety of healthy wild edibles, but you can also save you money as well. Win, Win.

Great video! Been seeing a few of these on my 73 acres. My first 9 chicks aren't old enough yet and my second batch of 32 chicks haven't arrived yet, but should be here on the 12th. Can't wait to let them run the land. Thanks for this video!

Another weed you can add to the list that my Chickens love is Spanish Needle aka Bidens alba, they are also a favorite of the bees

My Tortoises eat the weeds that the chickens don't.

Hello from Canada! Really enjoy your videos. Learned a lot from this one but mostly, must find where Steve got that T-Shirt! 😂

Wonderful video, just in time, I am "re-doing" my garden and working in my orchard !! ❤🎉😊

Great info, thanks. I feed my chickens dandelions, clover and plantain, but did not know about the other weeds. Love your channel, always very informative.

I got 26 mcmurray ginger broilers turning a field of yellow star thistle into my dinner as I type.

In Philippines we rich in azola , because we have all year raining season and you can find azola everywhere, we feed azola to pigs, chicken, goat, tilapia fish, rabbit, cow, horse, ducks, turkey, they love azola weeds so much, and some azola we dry it in sun then put to pelletized machine to extend it's life

We appreciate your work 🤠

This was great! Thanks, guys.🙏🏽

Great topic! Personally, ever since starting a flock, I quite trying to “weed” the yard. Especially dandelions, our ladies love them! Why get rid of free chicken food? 😉

My girls love plantain! Just noticed this the past few days. They rush to it.

This is awesome and now a part of my folder!

I eat most of that stuff myself. Purslane is really good and so is Lambs Quarter.

Loved your presentation

Nice work gentlemen.

Terrific info guys! Thanks for giving us chicken fans some interesting and healthy treat alternatives to give our flocks. Great video. I always look forward to your next video effort too!

Thanks I enjoyed this video and I learned a lot!

Highly educative, feeding is the most critical input in poultry farming

Great idea for a video! Not being a hater, just pointing out purslane was spelled wrong and the names of plants and pictures did not correlate towards the end of the vid. I'm sure you guys are busy, but hopefully there can be further editing and a re-post later?

Wow! You guys are awesome. Love your presentation and your depth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing.

Sounds like GREAT FOR PEOPLE food.... Survival food if nothing else 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

From Texas, I enjoy your videos. Appreciate your sharing your experience and knowledge. Keep sharing. Looking forward to to the next one. ☝🙏🙌💪

A,ways enjoy your videos. Good info

My girls react to the heart-shaped clover (I always called it dear clover) like it's a special treat

Thanks Guys

I've learned so much from your high-quality videos! Highly Informative and Very Useful!!! Many thanks!!!

Great info I got to get to it with my chicken's!

Thank You for telling us all. May God bless ya 'all.

Concerning dandelions: be sure to keep some around for bees!

the humming from speaker static each time you talk, dang.

Thanks for educating me on the weeds in my lawn

I like to eat the pods from the Wood Sorrow..I also have an abundance of a plant that resembles Basil, and has Purple colored curley leaves as it matures, and smell like licorice when crushed, and Chickens love it. Haven't seen it anywhere but in my old orchard, so I don't know where it came from..Also makes a good ground cover..

Wow! Learned a bunch. I leave most of these in my lawn . I like wild alfalfa too. Wild bunnies like these weeds too.

Terrific presentation guys! It was good to hear the names and see the pics of the weeds....I am pretty sure I have most of them on my property. That thorny nettle seems to grow in my compost pile a lot....not sure why but now I know what I can do with it. Thanks again.

Chicweed for you in the colder climates, grows mainly in cool and cold weather, Fall, Winter and early cool spring weather. It does not grow in hot weather “at all”. But it is in fact only dormant until the cool weather arrives.. . You can easily harvest it for cool and cold weather times. It will grow a winter long,. You guys need more weed education. Good thing you got a landscaper here.

Excellent information fella's. Had no idea of the value of these weeds. May plant them near my coops and start harvesting them for my birds.

Thank you I will sure let my friends know .

Thank you for the information. I have a lot of those weeds here, but I did not know what they were. This will be great when I get my chickens. Thanks again. Hugs and blessings always

Cooool very good information how about morning glory , they love it but I don't know if is good or not!

Lamb's Quarter! I have a large area growing it out. Just a few plants will give you enough seeds to spread it to much larger plots.

I too have them all!! I've spent years pulling and disposing of even tiny purslane plants. Even broken pieces will root. My vegetable garden is purslane and twitch grass free now. It was alot of bending over with my trowel digging out roots 🎉. Thanks for all the information about them. When I get my chickens this spring, I'll have to seek out purslane as it does sound healthy. I used to nibble on some. Your video on weed 10 and 11 shows the wrong name for the weed. Thought you would like to know 😊 Have a great spring.

Dear Hobby Farm Guys, I have been wanting to watch this programme, but kept putting it off. Then, you just posted a quiz on weeds. This prompted me to watch this programme. A very valuable video. It is good to know how beneficial weeds can be for chickens, and how to reduce the cost of feed. Thank you for a timely programme. Sincerely, Larry Lewis Ontario, Canada.

Has anyone tried dehydrating these plants to feed during winter? Does that work or does it just make green dust to get wasted on coop floor?

Hi first time I run into your videos. Very informative, I know some of these weeds but didn’t know about all the nutrients. I only knew the purslane is very nutritious, I’m Mexican , we call them verdolagas. They’re a little pricey because they cook down like spinach so you need a good quantity. We eat it in salsa stews. It’s a delicious dish. Look up Pork in salsa with verdolagas if interested. Don’t eat the very thick stems if you’re harvesting at home because they’re too fibrous, not pleasant. But chickens will eat all parts of the plant. Congrats great job guys I loved the video. ❤

Thank you for this video guys. I built a wire covered open air run for my coop over the winter. I planned to use it to grow things for my birds to naturally forage in safely.. lucky for me.. I've got LOADS of dandelion in my yard.. I'll be picking some of those and just softly making sure they get slung all over my new run.

What God gave us for medicine and food, we call weeds and destroy

Hello from Laveen 😊 I was very disappointed to find out we shouldn’t feed the stinknet here in Phoenix to the chickens or livestock. Hope we can find and eco friendly way to get rid of this invasive weed soon.

Idea! use duckweed with ducks on with fish aquaculture?

Lambsquarters buds are quite tasty...

People can eat a lot of these plants

Add kelp for additional minerals

If my yard has a number of these already, will the chickens just eatwhat they want if they can feed open range?

A lot of weeds I reserve for myself, like cow thistle, fay hen or as you call it lamb's quarter are very popular in my culture, which is unfortunate for the chickens.

15:00 this isnt lambsquarter, as you highlighted on screen.

Booooooo Suns! Mavs coming back strong next year 💪

I wish I could get my hens to eat weeds. I have a constant battle with nettles in the garden and was one of the reasons I got the hens. But they won't touch them. They ignore dandelions, plantain, wild lettuce and if I bring through the grass cuttings from the front garden (which is more weeds than grass) they just scratch about for a few minutes for bugs then lose interest. But they make a beeline for my kale, cabbage, sprouts, lettuces etc. So I spend a fortune on pellets (mainly because rats eat so much). I've tried reducing the pellets quantity to try to encourage them to eat other things but then each time I go out to the garden they dash over and ask for more food. Any tips on encouraging them to eat weeds?

Howdy from TX fellas. Whats fed in the winter if someone isn't feeding grain feed to the Flock? Thanks bunches for the info.

I live in Zone 9 in Central florida and only 3 weeds in this video grow here. Can you provide a list for our area? thanks

So can I grow all of this on my backyard pasture together ?

Just discovered your channel and was quite interested to hear what you had to say. It was quite informative but you need to reedit as near the end the plants you were talking about were not what was printed up on the video . E,G. Oxalis was listed as Sow Thistle and Sow Thistle was written up as Lamb's Quarter. You may want to correct those .

Love the no...😂

i see chicory all along the highway

Please tell me if its safe to let my chickens eat goutweed aka bishops weed, ground elder, snow in the mountains, etc.. ?

I have many of these weeds in abundance, but the chickens do not seem to eat them. How do I introduce these weeds as a food source? I have called them and offered them to the chickens, but they don’t touch them

We have weeds because Eve then Adam ate from the tree of knowledge…Arrrrrrgggg

What about comfrey

Dodder is the worst of weeds!

the vibe i get off this is scstv celebrity farm film blow up wityh john candy. you would have to see it to know what i saying. lol..

Lol, all weeds are invasive. Remember if you want a nice lawn. Keep your Chickens and any other Birds you raise, off of it. Those weeds they eat have seeds, and out the in the birds poop it goes Nicely fertilized seeds . Well there goes your lawn. So keep them in their area and of course the birds love the woods for the main course of tics and many other delicious bugs they like, keeping ants and termites away from your house.

Only if I starve my chickens will eat henbit

can you supply seeds for these weeds can goats safely consume shalom

Whoever edited this video got the names of some of the weeds wrong.

Homeboy look like he's got acid reflux.
