The problem isI have no idea whats growing out there! The previous owners grazed horses, and Ive never reseeded, though Id like to overseed with a poultry forage mix.
Are there any grasses or weeds I should watch out for? I know Ive had hairy vetch in my daylily bed, but I havent seen it in the pasture. Im in upstate South Carolina.
Geese love grazing, so they'll likely prefer grass, while chickens will focus on bugs and seeds. As long as you avoid known toxic weeds, they'll do well.
