How Japanese Farmers Raise 20 Chickens Without Ever Buying Feed
Are rising feed prices making your backyard chicken flock more expensive than expected? In this video, Farmyard Care explores how Japanese natural farmers connected chickens, gardens, kitchen scraps, fermented feed, insects, worms, and deep-litter bedding to create a productive closed-loop farming system. This video is especially useful for backyard chicken keepers, homesteaders, small farmers, gardeners, and anyone interested in raising healthier poultry while reducing dependence on commercial feed. You will discover how ordinary household and farm resources can be transformed into nutritious supplementary food, fertile compost, healthier soil, and a more resilient homestead. From the natural farming philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka to the biological methods used at Miyagi Farm, we break down five practical feed streams that can be adapted to different climates, flock sizes, and available spaces. ✅ What you will learn in this video: ➤ How to use suitable kitchen scraps, rice bran, and fermentation to reduce poultry feed costs. ➤ How black soldier fly larvae and worm farms can convert organic waste into valuable protein for chickens. ➤ How garden rotation, mulberry, comfrey, and perennial plants can create a living feed system around the coop. ➤ How deep-litter bedding and beneficial microbes can help manage manure, reduce odor, and produce rich compost for the garden. This system is not about neglecting your flock or replacing balanced nutrition with random waste. It is about observing natural cycles, using local resources responsibly, and connecting every part of the homestead so that one system supports another. Watch until the end to see how kitchen waste can feed insects, insects can nourish chickens, chicken manure can rebuild soil, and fertile soil can produce food for both your family and your flock. Which of these five natural feed streams would you establish first?
