Naomi (verified owner) –
I wanted to increase the forage plants for my poultry. I felt sheepish buying “weed” seeds, but the naturally existing plants weren’t enough to keep up with my birds’ appetites.
I especially like to use it when brooding chicks, but didn’t even have any I could scrounge up the last time and barely found anything the time before!
I do not regret buying this chickweed! Much thicker, lusher growth than the naturally occurring chickweed on my property. The flowers are nicer too. I’m hoping cross-pollination will occur to improve the overall vigor in the chickweed on my property. Thanks for your hard work preserving and improving medicinal plants!
