    1. Prepare the area
    Choose a sunny, well-drained spot and remove weeds. Loosen soil to create a fine seedbed.

    2. Sow the seeds
    Scatter evenly and lightly cover (5–10 mm deep). Do not bury too deep.

    3. Water regularly
    Keep soil moist during germination until seedlings establish.

    4. Let it establish
    Allow plants to grow strong before introducing chickens.

    5. Let chickens forage
    Once established, allow natural grazing. Chicory will regrow with proper care.

    6. Maintain growth
    Water in dry periods and avoid overgrazing to support ongoing regrowth.
