Rabbits enjoy the leaves as do chickens (can be up to 60% of their diet)

Also fab for humans to make nutmilk (horchata) and flour. Used extensively in food plots for turkey. To feed ducks, soak overnight, rinse, and put in their water container.

Good people food too.

Store seed heads for winter feed

Consider raised rabbits in chicken coop with worm composting below

Chickens may prefer these in the spring when they are sprouting.

Lay boards down, turn to reveal bug bounty for poultry.

Will eat spent plants or trimmings

or sprouted barley on days 5-12

Save seeds from garden brassicas and plant these for chicken feed

Will eat spent plants, trimmings

Our goats only eat these in late winter to early spring

Rabbits prefer shade-grown leaf

40% protein

Protein source, improves gut function

Can be 15-20% of chicken's diet; rotate behind grazers for bug/pest control

The green "keys"(samaras) are edible for humans

Chickens ❤️ the leaves, the drupe can be stored well and blended then strained to make a delicious, mildly-caramel-flavor nutmilk

Don't overfeed to rabbits

Worth saving seed to spread

Fresh or dried, not wilted!

leaf, bark, twig, buds

May be competition w/local deer who love the fruit

fodder crop; leaf, bark, twig, buds

Solar cooked in summer (or in haybox cooker); woodstove in winter

Raw in warm weather, cooked in cold season; improve yolk color in poultry; said to support deworming in goats

Not for cold areas

Dry heads and feed to chickens fall-winter

We keep different buckets to sort scraps by destination: worm bin (coffee grinds), chickens vs pigs, compost pile

Rabbits: feed small amounts

for fresh greens in winter months

I feed this raw in fall, then as the chill comes on, we cook it (haybox cooker or over woodstove) in winter months
