hi guys. i have chickens in an enclosed run. they barely have grass to eat and they just don't eat lettuce and other greens.
so im planning to imitate grass by sprouting oats and other grains i can try.
do u think this will work?
here is an example (not my pic). after they have grown this far. im planning to put them in the run.
It works great- I have four movable coops, one permenet with a run. Though the girls in there get weeds pull from the bed, rose petal, marigold petals. I do sprout mung beans, radishes and birdseed. Yeah birdseed is cheap and sprouts(milo,sunflower,corn, oats). The girls girls yolks are just as yellow as the free ranging girls. I buy the other seed in bulk at the feed store. Oats in fifty pound bags that we feed the cows and pigs. Always pull a few pound sout for the chickens, especilly in the winter when greens for all is limited. Good luck
