I sprout alfalfa and sunflower for my chickens in large sprouting trays. My chickens love it. It makes quite alot of greens per pound of seeds. I will try the wheat and barley too. Here in arizona we have little grass and they need their greens.
I raised my Americauna chicks from 1 day hatchlings. The brooder was in my house. When I moved them out to the coop at 8 weeks old they all did the same thing huddling in a corner on the ground closest to my house. After losing 2 of them to predators I was worried. My coop is pretty well...
