Growing Homestead: Feeding Them With Water Spinach

Our homestead is already growing.
We now have flocks of ducks and chickens.


My mother-in-law, being a practical and resourceful thought of feeding them every morning with water spinach.
You can find it at the front of our house, where kangkong grows abundantly.


It grew wild and free, like a gift from nature, which my mom used to keep our poultry healthy and happy.
She just brought a basket and carefully harvested fresh kangkong.
Our cat Hunter also joined us that morning, curious about how my mom cares for our animals. 😅

After harvesting enough fresh kangkong, my mother-in-law prepared it to make sure it was perfect for our ducks and chickens.
She took her time cutting the water spinach into small, manageable pieces.


She trimmed the long, leafy stalks into bite-sized portions, ensuring they would be easy for the birds to chew and eat.


She also set aside some kangkong for us to cook later for lunch.

These greens are not just for the birds but also for us to make a delicious and healthy addition to our meals.
Once everything was ready, she scattered the small pieces of kangkong across the yard.
The ducks eagerly pecked at those fresh greens.


Living on a homestead will really teach you the true value of simplicity and resourcefulness.
Using natural ingredients like the kangkong, helps us provide healthy and fresh food for our animals and make the most of what nature offers.
So if you're also growing a flock, maybe you can try the gift of nature to feed them.
It's living simply and wisely. 😉
Until our next healthier effort...
Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸

Thank you ☺️
Feeding ducks and chickens with kitchen scraps, cover crops and random plants seems amazing. I hope to do something similar in the future.
Yes, you can try it. It's practical nowadays, especially since everything has become so expensive.
Feeding chickens and ducks with the nature provided source makes the chickens taste different and nice instead of those that were fed with artificial feed.
