Hi permies,
I wanted to share with you an article I wrote about supplementing chicken diet with spirulina.
For those who don't know it, spirulina is a type of microalgae that holds many antiviral, antifungal, and antioxidant properties and has the perfect composition of minerals and vitamins to maintain chicken health. While it only amounts to about 0.5% of their total feeding, it covers the majority of their nutritional needs.
Of course, you can supplement your chicken feed with dry spirulina powder from the store, but if you have a bit of space and you're up for a scientific adventure, growing it at home or in your backyard will actually result in a much better, fresher product that is also very easy and relatively cheap to produce.
Read more about the benefits of spirulina for chickens on my blog: https://grow-organic-spirulina.com/blog/spirulina-chicken-feed-supplement/
I look forward to hearing what you guys think.
Yours truly,
Ditsa
