This sounds like an exciting start, Phillip.
There are some things that you can grow to feed your animals that makes a big difference. Big squashes and pumpkins provide a lot of animal food with not a lot of work, assuming you have the space to grow them. Turnips and peas are good, too.
Lots of weeds are edible to your poultry, and should be encouraged. Lamb's quarters (summer and fall) and chickweed (spring) are our chickens' favorite wild foods, and they grow like the weeds they are!
