How many square inches of fodder per chicken?

Here is the tray of groats.

This is the wheat tray at 5 days. Can't wait to see what the chickens think of it.

Think of it? they will inhale it.

Well, the groats didn't take. The seed husk is very soft on them compared to the wheat seed and I probably soaked it too long.
However at 7 days, the wheat is clearly ready.

The tray is 10"x20"x2" deep.

That is a nice mat, the root structure going on is awesome.

Thanks. I went to the feed store yesterday and got a 50# sack, just put a pound of seed in water and they will hit the tray tomorrow.
I will post a day by day. I think I may run a 5 day cycle this time.
