Excellent experimentation and write up! This will be incredibly useful for us since our chickens are confined to a small enclosure due to the number of predators in the area.

For my initial cost of $10, I have grown almost 500 lbs of fresh, green, lush barley fodder from my small backyard flock all winter long for less than 5 minutes of effort per day. The 100 lbs of barley seeds I bought to make my fodder was less than $12.00. For me, that's like getting 10 bags of commercial feed for only $1.20 per 50 lb. bag. Fodder is a supplement to their diet, but it does help stretch out the commercial feed, and I know the fodder is healthy for them.
