GREEN STUFF FOR CHICKENS
When Fowls Are Confined They Should
Be Given Lettuce, Sprouted Oats
or Alfalfa.

Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats,
alfalfa, or clover, but the best place
to raise chickens successfully Is on
good range where no extra green
feed is required.
