Chickens in the Garden | With Dr. Sez the Vet
We’re talking chickens—those fluffy butt, soil-turning, pest eating wonders that can be put to work in your garden.
🐔 Whether you're dreaming of adding chickens to your permaculture setup or wondering if they're right for your orchard, this episode is packed with practical, real-world insight. I'm joined by Sez the Vet, an experienced life-style vet and educator.
This is a conversation I was looking for 10 years ago! I get to have it now and share it with you.
Are we OK to feed our hens oats in the morning?
Can we let a mama hen eat the chick starter?
What breeds should a gardener have?
By the end, you’ll know whether chickens are right for your land—and your lifestyle.
🎧 Tune in to learn how pigs can become not just garden helpers, but cherished companions (just don’t let them get away with any nonsense!).
