Laurie-Ann interviewed Sean H. on Wednesday January 29th. She asked him our series of questions, and here is some of her report.

They keep 8 chickens, they are allowed to range around a section of the property. Chickens receive food table scraps and garden scraps (outer cabbage leaves, etc.) Apparently the hens are a little picky about eating too many cabbage leaves. Sean is interested in localizing his chickens’ food. They currently buy at Western Feed Supply or Penngrove Hay and Grain, both of which sell an organic feed mix. He hasn’t tried any gleaning yet. He is curious to know what nutritional need would be met by table scraps, and how much feed that can supplant. If gleaning was local, in his neighborhood, he would be interested. He was glad to know someone was thinking about the issue!
Sean and his partner live on approximately a quarter acre with a large vegetable garden. They live in a rural feeling area.
