Default What to grow in a chicken garden/run?

Put down some sand for them to eat. It helps them digest the other things
you feed them. Oyster shells helps keep the egg shells hard by supplying
them with calcium.

Grain that is small enough for them to eat. You will have to buy that. A
friend of mine went to a grocery store and picked up bad tomatoes,
watermelons, and anything else that they were throwing out, and dumped it in
their pen. They ate and scratched around and did very well.

They love to eat bugs. Plant anything that is bothered with worms or
grasshoppers.
