You Could Try....
...a Penguin paperback reprint (from 1941, when food was scarce) called
Poultry & Rabbits on Scraps by Claude Goodchild and Alan Thompson.
I got a copy today and I think it's a great book. I ought to say that, apparently, DEFRA have condemned this book as it doesn't meet their stringent regulations.
I have emailed DEFRA today for a clear explanation of the 'Feeding Waste Products to Livestock' page their website as it seems to be related to commercial rather than domestic waste. The computer generated reply said it would take up to 15 working days for them to get back to me!
It is a very helpful little book though, things that you can plant for your chooks are listed as
Artichoke, Jerusalem.
Beans; Broad, Dwarf, Haricot & Runner
Buckwheat
Beet
Broccoli, Sprouting
Brussels Sprouts
Cabbage; Spring, Winter & Savoy
Carrots
Kale; Thousand Headed & Rape
Leeks
Lettuce (summer)
Lucerne
Maize
Mangolds
Onions
Peas
Potatoes
Spinach
Sunflower
Swedes
Turnips
I've typed them as they are in the book.
